{"product_id":"9781683582236","title":"Cubs by the Numbers: A Complete Team History of the Chicago Cubs by Uniform Number","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWhat do Dizzy Dean, Catfish Metkovich, John Boccabella, Bill Buckner, Mark Prior, and Kevin Hart all have in common? They all wore number 22 for the Chicago Cubs, even though seven decades have passed between the last time Dizzy Dean buttoned up a Cubs uniform with that number and the first time reliever Kevin Hart performed the same routine.\u003cp\u003eSince the Chicago Cubs first adopted uniform numbers in 1932, the team has handed out only 71 numbers to more than 1,100 players. That’s a lot of overlap. It also makes for a lot of good stories. Newly updated, \u003ci\u003eCubs by the Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e tells those stories for every Cub since '32, from 1930s outfielder Ethan Allen to 2014 All-Star Starlin Castro. This book lists the players alphabetically and by number; these biographies help trace the history of baseball's most beloved team in a new way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Cubs fans, anyone who ever wore the uniform is like family. \u003ci\u003eCubs by the Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e reintroduces readers to some of their long-lost ancestors, even those they think they already know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.
