Starred review from April 1, 2017
In what is destined to become a classic of the genre, Sports Illustrated senior baseball writer Verducci (The Yankee Years) chronicles the epic story of the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs. He covers the five-year rebuilding project started in 2011 by newly hired team president Theo Epstein, which resulted in breaking the longest championship drought in North American professional sports history (108 years). This book brilliantly interweaves the unforgettable drama of the seven-game World Series against the Cleveland Indians with the narrative background of how the Cubs got to that point, featuring the eccentric yet old-school managing of Joe Maddon; the acquisition of key players such as Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, and Aroldis Chapman; and tales from the history of the "lovable losers," including the Bleacher Bums. Throughout, Verducci elegantly dances between poignant individual backstories, thoughtfully nuanced baseball philosophy, and thrilling play-by-play descriptions of significant moments on the field. VERDICT This volume will be cherished by Cubs fans and appreciated by all baseball lovers as a memorable and well-written account of a legendary sports story.--Brian Sullivan, Alfred Univ. Lib., NY
