دانلود کتاب Wrigley Field Year by Year: A Century at the Friendly Confines

"There has never been a book that chronicled the entire history of a baseball park by the year. That is, not until now . . . Every Cubs fan should savor it." —Bleacher ReportLavishly illustrated and written by a baseball historian and recognized authority on the "Friendly Confines," Wrigley Field Year by Year is the first to detail each year of the storied park's first century. The result of twenty-five years of meticulous research, the book not only covers the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Federal League baseball teams in detail, it also touches on the Chicago Bears football team, basketball, hockey, high school sports, track and field, and even political rallies. It references activities and changes throughout the park—and in its neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. In addition to pertinent Cubs statistics, the author's year-by-year coverage provides a "game of the year," a description of unusual and interesting happenings in the ballpark, and a quote from the year that best captures its essence. Supplementing the year-by-year approach are nine chapters that divide Wrigley Field's rich history into nine "innings"—along with informative appendixes that will delight every Cubs fan, from the casual to the obsessed.
