Description

Within the fall of 1908, no person will have guessed that the Chicago Cubs, a team that had dominated the National league three straight years, would for a century be shut out in its efforts to reclaim the arena championship. Stars like Frank Chance, Ed Reulbach, and Three Finger Brown were still of their prime, and the Cubs had just emerged the winner in probably the most remarkable pennant race in history. Within the decades since, the fulfillment of the 1908 Cubs has been overshadowed first by the events of the season, which included the Merkle Game and a playoff that pitted two all-time great pitchers against every other, and more recently by the calendar, because the centennial anniversary of the last Cubs championship closed in. This book rescues the 1908 team from its status as footnote to baseball history, following one of the vital all-time great clubs on a thrilling, season-long march toward the World Series.
