SynopsisIt 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., In this rollicking exploration of baseball and blind faith, Kaduk weaves a riveting tale of the team that stole his heart--and the Wrigleyville neighborhood surrounding baseball's most historic ballpark.
