{"product_id":"9780062117694","title":"When Chicago Ruled Baseball: The Cubs-White Sox World Series of 1906","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1906 the baseball world saw something that had never been done. Two teams from the same city squared off against each other in a World Series that pitted the heavily favored Cubs of the National League against the hardscrabble American League champion White Sox. Now, more than a century later, noted historian Bernard A. Weisberger tells the tale of a unique time in baseball, a unique time in America, and a time when Chicago was at the center of it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen Chicago Ruled Baseball\u003c\/em\u003e brings to life a dazzling epoch in a land of the self-made man—where A. G. Spalding helped establish baseball as both a national pastime and a thriving business, where Mordecai “Three-Finger” Brown overcame a horribly disfiguring injury and pitched his way into the Hall of Fame . . . and Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance proved that you could use teamwork to stand out as stars. Weisberger brings to life an unforgettable story of how a city that had rebuilt itself from the ashes of the Great Fire thirty-five years earlier became the focal point of an entire baseball-loving country, and one grand sporting contest staked its claim as one of the most remarkable and electrifying World Series ever to be played. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome images that appeared in the print edition of this book are unavailable in the electronic edition due to rights reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078625607920,"sku":"9780062117694","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062117694_p0.jpg?v=1769912905","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062117694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
