The Cubs: The Complete Story of Chicago Cubs Baseball ReviewI think I have read every Cubs book ever published and, without question, this is by far the best, best looking, and most comprehensive history of the team i have ever read. It has a little of everything, well, actually alot of everything - hundreds of new pictures, stats and essays plus a narrative history that reads like a PBS special, smart, thorough and thought provoking. Unlike so many other Cubs books this doesn't just focus on 1969, or all the billy goat bs, but tells Cub history as one big story, from the beginning to the start of the 2007 season. It looks like a coffee table book (and is BIG) but reads like something David McCullough might have written. Good to read straight through, like I did, or to flip through and look at the pictures like my son did with his grandfather. After reading this book you'll love the Cubs just as much as ever but you'll win any argument with other Cubs fans.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending. If the Cubs could only win a World Series, this book would be perfect.The Cubs: The Complete Story of Chicago Cubs Baseball Overview

A Band of Misfits: Tales of the 2010 San Francisco Giants ReviewMy main apprehension was that this book was going to be a terrific book but one that I had already read. With all the terrific coverage that we as Giants fans get from Andrew Baggary on in his Mercury articles and his blog Extra Baggs, I was wondering if he had any stories, antidotes, or related stories that had yet to be covered. Luckily for the devoted Giants fan there is tons of extra insight into the magical Giants season that was 2010. It almost makes me wonder if every year Baggs holds some stories out just in case they win the big one and he has to write a book. (you better not be!!!) To the average reader it is a perfect introduction to a team in a championship season that rivals very few, "The Bad Guys Won" about the 86 Mets and their inspiring run comes to mind. Anyway, its a terrific book for a Giants fan or for a baseball fan in general. It's such a great story that I would read it even if it was about the Dodgers....... (maybe not)
Anyway for more on Baggarly's amazing writing check out his blog Extra Baggs
A Band of Misfits: Tales of the 2010 San Francisco Giants OverviewThe 2010 San Francisco Giants were the most unlikely World Series champions of all time. Sure, they had some quality pitchers, but the Giants roster consisted of a rag-tag group of castoffs, oddballs, rookies, and old-timers who seemed a lot more entertaining off the field than on it. After 53 years of futility, San Francisco was hungry for a baseball championship...but the 2010 Giants? Then, as the season waned, some type of magic descended on the Bay Area and enveloped the club, leading them to the most miraculous of championships. How the Giants came together as a team and shocked the country all the while, doing things in their own offbeat fashion is one of baseball s all-time great stories.In Band of Misfits, Andrew Baggarly longtime Giants beat writer for the San Jose Mercury News shines a light on the colorful characters (lovingly labeled the Dirty Dozen by manager Bruce Bochy) who became stars during San Francisco s crazy ride to the top, including Aubrey Huff and his now-legendary Rally Thong; clean-cut rookie extraordinaire Buster Posey; and laissez faire Tim Lincecum, whose laid-back personality is a perfect fit for the City by the Bay. Behind every madcap misadventure there was also an unquenchable drive to succeed and prove the naysayers wrong. Too young, too old, not good enough? This team never bought into those excuses. Every baseball fan will love Baggarly's inside stories of The Misfits run to the title.
