About the Book

***Now includes new epilogue following the Cubs' 2016 World Series Championship!*** I've been a baseball fan, and a Chicago Cubs fan, for over 20 years. In that time, I've seen some thrilling wins, many crushing defeats, and lots of memorable moments. I've seen just about everything - except a championship. For all the grief I take for being a fan of America's most notorious losing sports team, the one thing that keeps me going is the belief that someday, I'll witness the final out that clinches that championship that has alluded the Cubs for over 100 years. 2015 wasn't supposed to be the year it happened. Sure, there were lots of great story lines as the season began. But most prognosticators thought they were at least a year away from being a serious contender. Instead, they took the fans on a wild ride that fell just short of a pennant. The season ended just like every other one I've witnessed - without a championship. Yet 2015 will always hold a special place in my mind. In this book, I chronicle the 2015 season through my eyes, while sharing my reflections from over two decades as a baseball fan. I'm not a famous journalist or celebrity. I'm just an average guy who enjoys watching the game. But I think that's what makes this book unique. I wrote it for every fan who still has a childlike passion for baseball while lamenting how it's become a big business; who tries to follow a big game while at work or a family event; and who keeps coming back year after year, no matter how many times their team breaks their heart, hoping this is the one year that things will be different. I wrote this book for all of you. I hope you enjoy it.
