This is a fan book. It's a good fan book, and a good book about baseball in general, if you like baseball. I don't love baseball, so with the pages that were heavy with game and player stats, i just couldn't get into it. What I found interesting was the number of people who are famous for not-baseball who were associated very early in their careers (famous and infamous) with Wrigley Park.
The stadium itself is a separate entity from the team that it houses. Making it a Home for baseball no matter how the team does is an act of love from a city dedicated to the game with a team from the origins of the sport.
Interesting information about the Cubs but a bit rambling with lack of focus. Sometimes it seemed like the author's ego got in the way of the story -- but that's George Will for you!
Read this if you love the Cubs, love baseball, or love the love of the game.
*I received this book for my honest review*
