So You Think You're a Chicago Cubs Fan? tests and expands your
knowledge of Cubs baseball. Rather than merely posing questions and
providing answers, you'll get details behind each--stories that bring to

more about Wrigley Field and the great Cub players and coaches of the
past and present, from Billy Herman to Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy
Williams, Dave Kingman, Andre Dawson, Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg,
Dennis Eckersley, Greg Maddux, Kerry Wood, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo,
Jake Arrieta, and so many more. Some of the many questions that this
book answers include:

On what date did the Cubs play their first Wrigley Field night game?
Which Cubs stalwart said, "I didn't practice singing. I didn't want to
get on key?"

Walk of Fame?
