DieHard Cub Fan

For all the diehard Cub fans out there, this is a very good book. It's a great reference book and very enjoyable to read.

Amazing detail and a joy to read for all baseball fans.

An absolute must for any die hard Cub fan! A work of tremendous research providing the entire Cubs history, great (not-so-great)and forgotten players, teams through the years, the cub faithful and the history of Wrigley Field. I ordered 10 copies and passed them out to my friends. Even if you're not a Cubs fan, you will enjoy the author's fun presentment of facts and his enlightening statistical analysis about this original NL franchise. Bravo to Doug Myers.

Comprehensive, insightful and humorous for any baseball fan.

This book is great reading for any baseball fan, regardless of whether you're a cubs fan (which I'm not). The reader receives the benefit of what must have been an enormous amount of research into not just the statistic achievement of the franchise, but also of the personalities of the people who created the history and the circumstance in which they made their marks. In addition, the information is conveyed in a manner that is easy and fun to consume.
