So You Think You're a Chicago Cubs Fan?: Stars, Stats, Records, and Memories for True Diehards
So You Think You’re a Chicago Cubs Fan? tests and expands your knowledge of Cubs baseball. Rather than merely posing questions and providing answers, you’ll get details behind each—stories that bring to life players and coaches, games and seasons.
This book is divided into multiple parts, with progressively more difficult questions in each new section. Along the way, you’ll learn more about Wrigley Field and the great Cub players and coaches of the past and present, from Billy Herman to Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Dave Kingman, Andre Dawson, Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg, Dennis Eckersley, Greg Maddux, Kerry Wood, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Jake Arrieta, and so many more. Some of the many questions that this book answers
What was the original name of Wrigley Field when it opened in 1914?
On what date did the Cubs play their first Wrigley Field night game?
Which Cubs stalwart said, “I didn’t practice singing. I didn’t want to get on key?”
In 1992, who were the first four players elected by fans into the Cubs Walk of Fame?
In what year did the Cubs become the first team to reach .500 ten times through twenty games?
This book makes the perfect gift for any fan of the Cubbies!

Do you know when the first televised game at Wrigley Field occurred? No? Well neither did I, at least not until I read, So You Think You’re A Chicago Cubs Fan?. So You Think You’re A Chicago Cubs Fan? is a pretty interesting sports information book for Cubs fans. Each chapter in the book begins with a set of questions, then it continues on with the answers to those questions. Each chapter, the questions get harder. I personally feel that it is a good book for a fan who is already pretty knowledgeable on the Cubs, rather than a somewhat knowledgeable fan. If you don’t have that much prior knowledge, you will simply be unable to answer the questions and will possibly get bored with the questions. Then, you will have basically no reason to read the answers to the questions that you had no hope of getting correct. This is simply because the format of the books doesn’t seem to be very practical. If the book is to help you learn more about the Cubs, then shouldn’t they give you the information you need to answer the questions, before you actually are expected to answer the questions? I think so. Possibly, it may make much more sense to read a question, then flip to the end of the chapter, to read the answer, then read another question, and so on. Aside from that, So You Think You’re A Chicago Cubs Fan? is a very informative book, and could very easily be enjoyed by generations of family members together.
