With the recent success of the Gas House Gang as backdrop, the
National League prepared for the 1935 season. The United States was
still in the Great Depression, but executives in baseball predicted
a financial comeback during the year, and Chicago's ""windy""
politicians demanded a pennant-contending ballclub. Yes, there was
a time when the Cubs were expected to win. This book chronicles the
Cubs' 1935 season and the many on- and off-field events that
impacted the game for years to come: Fans who had once turned to
baseball for heroes and men of character now laughed at players'
uncouth antics and fun-loving carousing reported in the morning
newspapers; Babe Ruth debuted in the American League with the
Boston Braves, and retired soon after; the first major league night
game was played in Cincinnati; the chewing gum king was the first
to broadcast all of his team's games on the radio; and the Cubs won
21 games in a row in September to take the pennant - the last Cubs
team to win 100 games in a season.
