Peter Golenbock's "Wrigleyville"

It's not perfect or all-encompassing, but it does a great job covering the earliest and middle years of Cubs history.

I’ll second this Sir, couldn’t put it down. It was like spending the whole season at the stadiums 👍

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-D...hor/B0DH87Q2DS

One that I enjoyed greatly and doesn't get mentioned often was John Helyar's "Lords Of The Realm: The Real History Of Baseball". Published in 1994, so it's been around a while. Found some of the stories about owners fascinating.

Good to hear. Picked this up at the used bookstore this summer, haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

The Maraniss book on Roberto Clemente was pretty good.
