It all began with the decision of the chewing-gum tycoon William Wrigley to build the world's greatest ball club in the nation's Second City.

Readers take front-row seats to meet one Hall of Famer after anotherâ??Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Joe McCarthy, Lewis "Hack" Wilson, Gabby Hartnett. The cast of characters also includes their colorful if less-sung teammates and the Cubs' nemesis, Babe Ruth, who terminates the ambitions of Mr. Wrigley's ball club with one emphatic swing No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
