About the Author

Art Ahrens--longstanding member of the Society for American Baseball Research and the Old Timers Baseball Association of Chicago--revisits this unforgettable era with all the aplomb of a master storyteller and the passion of a lifelong Cub fan. Ahrens has co-authored (with the late Eddie Gold of the Chicago Sun-Times) five previous titles on Cubs history, and wrote chapter three, "Chicago Cubs," for the Encyclopedia of National League Team Histories. This is the pictorial history he has been itching to do for years.
