The Best Team Ever: A Novel of America, Chicago, and the 1907 Cubs

The Best Team Ever captures the essence of a century-old Windy City, and weaves baseball, love, murder and intrigue through every page.

And ''Three Finger'' Brown, owner of the game's best curveball. Rookie ''Kid'' Durbin rides the bench and writes a journal as the Cubs play a near-perfect brand of baseball against the backdrop of a wild, corrupt Chicago and a transforming America. Madmen, saints and sinners on the diamond and off parade through the pages of this historical novel.
