Review Quotes:
"Reveal(s) insights from Cubs greats and not-so-greats, broadcasters and reporters, ushers and fans .While the book's 100 tales include stories from fans such as Liz Gumprecht of Hawthorn Woods, who married her husband, Kris, at Wrigley Field in 2009, it also features stories from former Cubs Andre Dawson, Burt Hooton and Jody Davis, and baseball legends such as former St. Louis (and White Sox) Manager Tony La Russa and pitcher John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves." — Chicago Daily Herald
The best thing about this book is how it celebrates the stories that make the Cubs who they are....The authors have selected people from every part of Cubs life to write a chapter. There are stories about how people became Cubs fans, slice-of-life remembrances, players' stories about their times at Wrigley, and some photos both of Cubs history and of the beginnings of the Wrigley renovation project from last winter. — BleedCubbieBlue.com
