The Chicago Cubs book tells the reader about the old Chicago Cubs. I think that this book really helped me know more stuff about the Chicago Cubs winning the championship in 1907 and in 1908. The Chicago Cubs had a chance to win the world series bot lost against the Tigers. The Chicago Cubs book tells the reader facts about Wrigley Field and more details about the Chicago Cubs best players that ever existed. The authors purpose of writing this book is to inform the reader about the longest home run in Wrigley Field and one of the first players that played with the Chicago Cubs.
Quotes of the book is "Someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series" by Harry Carry and the reason for this quote is that the Chicago Cubs have been in a World series.
Ernie Banks says that "The only way to prove you a good sport is to loose" and my opinion about this quote is that sometimes losing is something good for other teams but not for the team that looses.
