Recensione:

“Funny, deep, sentimental, achingly researched, richly written. This is the agony
and ecstasy of Cubdom, served up in 162 delicious packages. How he got all this stuff I’ll never know, but every blue-souled Cubbie will be glad he did. From now on, anytime somebody asks them, ‘Why in the WORLD are you a Cubs fan?’ they can simply say, ‘Read this.’”

—Rick Reilly, author of Who’s Your Caddy?
“Gene Wojciechowski reminds you that while Cubs baseball games may be played on the patch of earth framed by streets named Addison, Waveland, Clark, and Sheffield, Cubs baseball actually lives in the hearts and souls of the most loyal, colorful, and resilient fan constituency baseball has ever known. At the end, you want 162 more stories, and you want Wojciechowski to tell every one.”

—Mike Vaccaro, author of Emperors and Idiots: The Hundred Year Rivalry Between the Yankees and Red Sox, from the Very Beginning to the End of the Curse
