THE CHICAGO CUBS’ PERFECT SEASON OF IMPERFECTION 

Hall of Fame slugger Ernie Banks, ‘Mr. Cub, ‘ had a saying during his playing days: ‘Let’s play two!’ Now, those words have a twist: ‘Let’s lose 162!’ Follow the game-by-game historical yet mythical creation of a campaign filled only with disheartening losses by a franchise as beleaguered as it is beloved. 

Whether you enjoy basking in Cubs misery or are a fervent supporter who loves playing the what-if game, The Goat Did It shines light on integral characters and irresistible plotlines in baseball’s grand story.

  • Santo, Sandberg and Sosa … Relive (or learn) the day-by-day exploits of some of the best to ever play the game, whether they donned Cub blue or were foes who made North Siders feel that way.

  • The Babe, a Billy goat, a black cat and Bartman … Soak in the stories and events behind the curses that many baseball fans believe have been cast upon the Cubs. Something has to explain all the misery. 

  • Lou, Leon and legends … Echoes of ‘Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win!’ from the late play-by-play announcer Harry Caray won’t resonate from these pages. What will are the defining losses on and off the field -the misguided trade of Lou Brock, a playoff ball rolling through Leon Durham’s legs and saying goodbye to the one-of-a-kind Caray.

  • The Goat Did It is a must-read recollection of the travails of baseball’s ultimate can’t-look-away franchise. Put yourself among the Bleacher Bums at Wrigley Field, where you’ll find yourself saying, ‘Let’s play two!’ Because this team has to win the next one, right?
