Wrigleyville: A Magical History Tour of the Chicago Cubs

כריכה קדמית
St. Martin's Publishing Group, 1 באפר׳ 2007 - 592 עמודים

For celebrated sportswriter Peter Golenbock, Wrigleyville is a symbol of America's fidelity to its greatest sport.

As he did with classics of sports literature, Bums (a history of the Brooklyn Dodgers) and Dynasty (a history of the New York Yankees), Golenbock turns to a team that has won and broken the hearts of generations of fans; the Chicago Cubs. Utilizing dozens of personal interviews with players, coaches, fans, sportswriters, and clubhouse personnel, as well as out-of-print memoirs by nineteenth-century players, Peter Golenbock has created a perfect gift for every baseball fan: a book that entertains, warms the heart, and touches the soul.

This updated edition includes material on Harry Caray's death, the magical seasons of Sammy Sosa and Kerry Wood, and the Cubs' 1998 playoff dive.
