Book Reviews of 101 Reasons to Love the Cubs
Book Review: The equivalent of an upper for the Cubs fan at the start of the season
Summary: 5 Stars
In the week before opening day of the baseball season and hope rises once again in the fan of every team, there is nothing better than reading about the Chicago Cubs. Now holders of the longest streak of futility regarding winning the World Series, they remain one of the most popular teams in America. Many reasons have been put forward for this, everything from poor management to a curse involving a goat have been cited.
This book is one for every Cub fan as it contains a combination of history, lore and information regarding some of the greatest players ever to wear the uniform. I enjoyed reading it and will put it on my shelf and revisit it at the start of the season next year. It helps generate hope in your mind that the future is now.
