With today being an off day for the Cubs, I thought it would be a good time to let you know that my fourth book about the Cubs will be coming out soon.
“The Incredible Chicago Cubs Trivia Book”
is 300 trivia questions centered around our favorite team. I’ve separated this book into chapters about batters, pitchers, managers, Wrigley Field, broadcasters and much more. There are questions of every difficulty level in every chapter.Here are some sample questions, from that Amazon link. I’ve left the
answers out, see if you can answer these before you click on the link.
- Who played the most games in Cubs history?
- Which pitchers threw two no-hitters as members of the Cubs?
- Can you name the manager that has the most wins in franchise history with a losing record?
- Which player has the most postseason hits and strikeouts in Cubs history?
There are nuggets of Cubs history throughout the book. Some are things you surely know. Others, maybe not — otherwise, why would they be trivia?
The official release date of “The Incredible Chicago Cubs Trivia Book” is June 9, but you can pre-order now at that link.
This is in the acknowledgments to the book, but I wanted to say right here that I could not have completed this book without the help of BCB’s own JohnW53, whose knowledge of Cubs history is unparalelled. Thanks, John, for everything. My friend Mike Bojanowski, whose work you have occasionally seen here, was also a great help to me.
Hope you’ll pick up a copy. Enjoy! (And if you can make it to Wrigley, bring it and I’ll sign your copy.)
