 Few things evoke as much emotion in a sport fan than the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. Love them or hate them, the Cubs have a mystique all their own.
In Classic Cubs, artist John Hanley and Chicago Sun-Times columnist Chris De Luca celebrate the team’s glorious history, milestones, and a galaxy of Hall of Fame ballplayers. More than 200 paintings and drawings passionately record the Cubs’ legacy, the beauty of the game, and the feats of those who played it. From Wrigley’s ivy-covered walls and manually operated scoreboard to the dazzling performances by legendary players to the owners, announcers, and other venues the Cubs have called home – all are beautifully recalled through vivid artwork and colorful anecdotes that illuminate many little-known facts behind the team’s most memorable moments.
The intensity of Hack Wilson, energy of Ernie Banks, the double-play combination of Tinker to Evers to Chance, and countless other magical memories are rendered in lush color that captures the mood and tradition of Chicago’s National League franchise and brings those wonderful moments back to life.
The wonderful. The wacky. The weird. You’ll find it all in Classic Cubs.
