It is an account of the 2004 season, game by game; a season when the experts were actually predicting the Cubs would go to the World Series (as I routinely have done every season since 1938). The book is full of interesting facts but I admit reading the account of the last days of the season was hard to do (when I know the Cubs lost I simply skip the sports pages for that day). But there is much to be said for a book which is so totally "for" the Cubs, and that made much of the book great reading. ( ) no reviews | add a review
From Ernie Banks, the legendary Mr. Cub, to Sammy Sosa, today's record-setting sensation, Cubs Nation traces the history of a team that often had everything going for it and yet was so hampered by losses that it came to define the term lovable losers. No library descriptions found. |
