Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Chicago Club In different ways and through various disadvantages our attention has been called to the losses suffered by the Club in the total destruction of its records by the fire of 1871, and the partial destruction of the same by fire, November 3, 1887, and to the total absence of any system for the preservation of our current documentary history. The Club has, for example, no file of its Annual Reports. We have not even copies of any of our Club books as issued from time to time. We have, therefore, invited Mr. Edward T. Blair to undertake the task of preparing and publishing for us a history of our Club from its very beginning, and he has kindly accepted the responsibility. Such a work will be of the greatest inter- est to us all, and will be an important contribution to the history of Chicago.

Book Description
Chicago in the Roaring Twenties was a city of immigrants, mobsters, and flappers with one shared passion: the Chicago Cubs. It all began when the chewing-gum tycoon William Wrigley decided to build the world’s greatest ball club in the nation’s Second City. In this Jazz Age center, the maverick Wrigley exploited the revolutionary technology of broadcasting to attract eager throngs of women to his renovated ballpark. Mr. Wrigley’s Ball Club transports us to this heady era of baseball history and introduces the team at its crazy heart—an amalgam of rakes, pranksters, schemers, and choirboys who take center stage in memorable successes, equally memorable disasters, and shadowy intrigue. Readers take front-row seats to meet Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Joe McCarthy, Lewis “Hack” Wilson, Gabby Hartnett. The cast of characters also includes their colorful if less-extolled teammates and the Cubs’ nemesis, Babe Ruth, who terminates the ambitions of Mr. Wrigley’s ball club with one emphatic swing.
