About this book

It was back in 1906 that the Cubs registered a 116-36 record, which remains to be an all-time winning record percentage of .763. It was also their 1907 and 1908 World Series wins that made them the first-ever team to capture multiple titles. Unfortunately, the team wouldn’t see much success in the next 108 years that followed. 

Seven World Series were lost by the team between 1910 and 1945, and the Cubs failed to reach another for 71 years after that. Despite earning the nickname “the Loveable Losers,” the team eventually made a comeback when they won the 2016 World Series. They were the first team to overcome such a deficit in over 30 years and an estimated 5 million people attended a celebratory parade in Chicago.

The headlines take you right through the Cub’s most important games, guiding you through the decades up to the present day through the words of the Washington Post's sports reporters.

The Baseball History of Chicago Cubs Washington Post Edition FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Who would this baseball book make a great gift for?

Our baseball history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of baseball. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual baseball teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
