Wrigley Field Year by Year: A Century at the Friendly Confines
More than just a lavishly illustrated and highly readable book, Wrigley Field Year by Year, originally published in 2014 and now in its third edition, updated through the 2018 season, is the result of a quarter century of meticulous research. Written byÂ a baseball historian and recognized authority on the â€œFriendly Confines,â€ this is the first book to detail each year of the storied parkâ€™s existence. The book covers not only the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Federal League baseball teams in detail, it touches on the Chicago Bears football team, basketball, hockey, high school sports, track and field, and political rallies. It references activities and changes throughout the park and in its neighborhood on Chicagoâ€™s North Side. In addition to pertinent Cubs statistics, the authorâ€™s year-by-year coverage includes:
- A â€œgame of the yearâ€
- A description of unusual and interesting happenings in the ballpark
- A quote from the year that best captures its essence
Supplementing the year-by-year approach are nine chapters that divide Wrigley Fieldâ€™s rich history into nine â€œinningsâ€ along with informative appendixes that will delight every Cubs fan, from the casual to the obsessed. The bookâ€™s easy-to-use format and wealth of information make it a resource that readers will turn to again and again.
