Book Reviews of Wrigleyworld: A Season In Baseball's Best Neighborhood
Book Review: Fun read that inspired a fun day!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fun light read and it lets you live vicariously through the eyes of one person that had the courage/lunacy to "chuck his job" and go to ball games all summer!
I learned a lot about the whole Wrigleyville experience and used this understanding to visit Wrigleyville during a Cardinals game. My friend and I had no expectations of getting in, just hoped to take in the atmosphere while hanging out in town before a Blackhawks game. We had fun drinking in a local establishment and ended up watching the last 5 innings of a crazy game from box seats, obtained for the price of a beer! A great life experience inspired by this book!
Summary of Wrigleyworld: A Season In Baseball's Best Neighborhood
It was a glorious day when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series....a glorious day in 1908, to be precise. Since then, the Cubs-and their awesomely devoted fans-have eagerly awaited another taste of victory. Included among them is Kevin Kaduk, who, in a fit of heartfelt (and possibly insane) loyalty to the team quit his job as a sportswriter and moved back to the Windy City to find the heart and soul of what has come to be known as "Wrigleyville."In this rollicking exploration of baseball and blind faith, Kaduk weaves a riveting tale of the team that stole his heart-and the life of the neighborhood surrounding baseball's most historic ballpark.
