Rated 5 starsBest Book about the 1969 Cubs
Read this when it came out and re-read it recently, excellent book, hopefully the put it back into circulation. No other book goes in depth as this one does for those famous Cubs of 69.Talley recently passed away but he was a writer for the paper and was by this team everyday of the season. Great Book but very hard to find these days!
