The Cubs were at the end of the best five-season run of any team in
history, based regular season wins. The team featured Three Finger
Brown, the famed double play combination of Tinker to Evers to
Chance, and the other players who together won 530 games in the
1906-1910 seasons. They won four National League pennants and were
the first team to win consecutive World Series, in 1907 and 1908.
After winning 104 games in 1909 and finishing second in the League,
the Cubs came back in 1910 to win the pennant again-they seemed
unstoppable. Going into the World Series, the Cubs-favored to
win-were at the end of a great run and the Philadelphia A's were at
the start of one. This book tells the story of the changing of the
guard in baseball in 1910, and how these two great teams assembled.
The narrative takes in the history of early 20th century baseball,
featuring men like Ben Shibe, Connie Mack, Eddie Collins, Frank
Baker, Chief Bender, and many others.
