Product Description

Over 225 black and white photographs span 100 years of baseball history in this stunning collection of Cubs images. From the days of Tinker, Evers and Chance to Ryne Sandberg and Sammy Sosa, the famous and the forgotten fill these pages and recall the glory of Chicago Cubs baseball.

Culled from 16 public and private photo archives, this collection includes dozens of previously unpublished images. Many of the old photographs were locked away in dusty files for decades until appearing here for the first time. Printer's marks were removed and the detail in the images was revealed through careful restoration. Most of the photographs have been reproduced to near their original size to faithfully record what the photographer saw.

These photographs record the changing face of baseball through the century by documenting the evolution of equipment, ballparks, uniforms and batting styles. Players, managers, owners and broadcasters--they're all here, with captions that bring their stories to life. From the glory of the 1906-08 champions to the agony of 1969. From "Three Finger" Brown to Ernie Banks and beyond.

Cubs Collection
Great book that looks at all the key players individualy with some biographic material and briefs on the the important accomplisments and great stats of each player in Chicago Cubs history. With awesome individual photography from the early 1906-1908 team when the Cubs were considered winners.. Three Fingers Brown (a great shot of what his hand actually looked like) Tinkers, Evers & Chance, Solly Hofman.. and many more. Has pictures of the great ones that got away. Lou Brock, Joe Carter, Rafael Palmeiro... to some of the present greats Kerry Wood Sammy Sosa. You will not look at this book and think what about this player because he covers every memorable player with a few that you may have forgotten as a bonus. There are over 200 pictures and the book is well made Glossy pages and Hardcover.
