Product Description
Ernie, Gabby, Billy, Fergie, Cap and Hack, Rhino and Santo, Andre and Sammy, Wrigley, the ivy. Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance, tossing back opposing teams homers, the Billy Goat Curse, Bartmans ball. Sixteen National League pennants, two World Series crowns, but 95 years and counting. Cubs Pride spans 129 years of Chicago Cubs ups, downs, and almosts. Extolled are the great legends, the lustrous lore, and the fabled futility of the Windy Citys favorite nine. Its certain to work up a case of diamond fever for Cubs fans and baseball enthusiasts everywhere. In 2003 the Cubs were just five outs away from their first World Series appearance since 1945, but the mysterious forces of fate intervened once again, and a late-game eight-run-rally by the Florida Marlins ended the dream. Such mishaps have made the Cubs Americas "favorite losers," according to Chicago TV station WGN, owned by the same company that owns the Cubs. The teams perennial failings and underdog status have created a national following. Cubs Pride provides firsthand accounts of the great Cubs players; the intense rivalries; the testaments to Cubs character; the great moments in Cub history; all 16 National League pennant-winning rosters; the all-time Cubs team; and even a shrine to No. 14, the immortal Ernie Banks. All are told by the players themselves, managers and coaches, Cubs opponents, and members of the media.

Cubs are the greatest losers of ALL time! February 1, 2006
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
We don;t care about winning, we care about what happens between the foul lines. We are America's team. Except for the Yankees and Red Sox. We rule Chicago! Winning a World Series on the South Side just makes it more obvious that we do NOT care about winning records, we care about showing up for our team. We have the hottest girls, the best bars and ivy on our outfield walls. That makes us No. 1! I'm so sick of the stat-heads that keep bringing up 1908. Hey, wise guy, 1908 this! All the way to HiTops! We'll show them how baseball is done -- done the tequila way! We're hopeful for a great year next year of 3 million+ in the stands. Playoffs? Ah, whatever! We'll leave that to the materialistic teams in the MLB. The Cubs are about ahving a good time, not about winning. Sammy Sosa! come back!
