The Cubs' 2016 World Series win marked the end of a 108-year drought in the team's history, and Game 7 will forever be remembered as one of the most thrilling, monumental moments in sports history.For Scott Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday and a lifelong Cubs fan, it was a moment he never thought he'd live to see. MY CUBS chronicles Simon's adolescence in Chicago as a die-hard fan to tell the story of the relationship between the team and the neighborhood and city, and how the condition of Cubness has both charmed and haunted the lives of so many fans. From theories and curses to jinxes and myths, Simon chronicles how a team of "loveable losers" inspired such fervor and dedication from their fans, and how their 2016 win transcended sports to become an underdog narrative for the whole nation. 610 20 $a Chicago Cubs (Baseball team) $x History. 600 10 $a Simon, Scott $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Baseball fans $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Biography. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Biography. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Penguin Audio (Firm) 710 2 $a Books on Tape, Inc. 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409025602.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180109012842.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170613010521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA6276B0347C11E78DAB1C93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
