The Chicago Cubs: 500 Fascinating Facts

This book is about the history of the Chicago Cubs, a team that first began play in 1870. It is arranged in question-and-answer format, with six chapter introductions of just over one page each. The book shows how and why the Cubs, probably the strongest baseball team of the 1910s, have not won a World Series in the past century. There are many anecdotes and stories--both amusing and tragic. Cap Anson, Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance, Gabby Hartnett, Ernie Banks, Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa and more are part of the story. Maybe this is the year!
