Cubs 100: A Century at Wrigley

by Dan Campana, Rob Carroll, Len Kasper (Introduction)

Overview

The Cubs have called Wrigley their home since 1916 and have treated their loyal followers with memories that have lasted for generations. From the legend of Babe Ruth's called shot to Kerry Wood's dominant twenty-strikeout performance, great games, notable names and a multitude of memorable moments have played out at Clark and Addison to create baseball's most recognizable relationship: the Cubs and Wrigley Field. The authors of Wrigley Field: 100 Stories for 100 Years return to celebrate this grand anniversary with Cubs 100: A Century at Wrigley, a new collection of baseball tales, including highlights from the exciting 2015 season, from storytellers such as Ryne Sandberg, Andre Dawson, Len Kasper and many others who know the symbiotic connection between the historic franchise and its iconic home.

Editorial Reviews

"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.
