Simon, the award-winning host of NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, is a life-long Cubs fan. His heartfelt and vivid memoir of growing up in Chicago reflects on how the team shaped the neighborhood and the city, and how it influenced the boy Simon was and the man he grew up to be. Known as “the lovable losers” for their historic run of bad luck (or was it a curse?), the Cubs nonetheless inspired devoted followers and rewarded fans’ patience with their 2016 World Series win. Simon, also the author of Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball and Windy City, a novel of Chicago, relives the championship’s unforgettable seventh game, delves into Cubs lore, cites stats, and tells stories.
