DESCRIPTION:
For the first time, this mountain of Cubs history has been mined and curated by the paper’s sports department into a single one-of-a-kind volume. In this book, readers will find a complete history of that most sacred of American stadiums, where Hack Wilson batted in 191 runs—still the major-league record—in 1930, where Sammy Sosa earned the moniker Slammin’ Sammy,” and where fans congregated, even when the team was on the road, throughout its scintillating championship run.The award-winning journalists, photographers, and editors of the Chicago Tribune have produced a comprehensive collector’s item that every Cubs fan will love.. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Cubs is a decade-by-decade look at one of baseball’s most beloved if hard-luck teams, starting with the franchise’s beginnings in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings and ending with the triumphant 2016 World Series championship.For more than a century, the Chicago Tribune has documented every Cubs season through original reporting, photography, and box scores. Each era in Cubs history includes its own timeline, profiles of key players and coaches, and feature stories that highlight it all, from the heavy hitters to the no-hitters to the one-hit wonders.And of course, you can’t talk

Amazon Customer said Absolutely gorgeous book bursting with Cubs history. This book is a beautiful tribute to the Chicago Cubbies. It is jam packed with beautiful photos (both black & white and color) and includes everything there is to know about the Cubs from past to present, including the World Series! I am a native Chicagoan and lifelong Cubs fan. I also got one for my dad, who has loved the Cubs even longer (he is 88). A lot of new Cubs books have come out since the championship and this one is the winner.. Five Stars Great book for any Cubs fan! Lots of history and great pictures.. Amazon Customer said An excellent value. I like baseball history, so this book was perfect for me. I am re-energized after the Cubs season last year. It was a great value for the money. The Chicago Tribune did a fantastic job putting this book together
