Cubs Forever: Memories from the Men Who Lived Them

For the past 60 years, the Chicago Cubs and WGN-TV have combined to bring a long-running, real-life serial program of joy, frustration, and passion to Chicago and a national cable audience. The WGN/Cubs relationship is unparalleled in the sports world, and the Cubs have been transformed into America's Team with loyal fans spread across the country. Cubs Forever celebrates this 60-year romance and will be released in conjunction with a 90-minute television special airing on WGN-TV in 2008. Cubs Forever brings to life some of the great games and moments in the team's history such as Ernie Banks 500th home run, the first Wrigley Field night game, the 23-22 slugfest, and four no-hitters. Add in stories about Wrigley Field and profiles of the team's many stars over this six-decade period, and you have a baseball bonanza for fans of all ages. These stories are told in their own words by Cubs legends such as Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Ryne Sandberg; broadcasters Harry Caray, Jack Brickhouse, and Steve Stone; plus Cub fans from Mike Ditka to Vince Vaughn to Bill Murray. Cubs photographer Stephen Green brings each page to life with a colorful selection of photographs from each signature moment in Cubs history along with stunning new portraits of Cub legends. Cubs Forever comes with a special DVD containing interviews with key Cubs and their fans of the past 60 years. Their unique insights, stories, and humor add a dimension that cannot be covered in the book alone.Bob Vorwald is the author of 'Cubs Forever: Memories from the Men Who Lived Them', published 2008 under ISBN 9781600780448 and ISBN 160078044X.
