| Summary |
The Chicago Cubs have been the living example of disappointment and failure for more than a century--until now. The Cubs' 2016 World Series win marked the end of a 108-year drought in the team's history, and Game 7 will be remembered as one of the most thrilling 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. From theories and curses to jinxes and myths, Simon chronicles how a team of "loveable losers" inspired dedication from their fans, and how their 2016 win transcended sports to become an underdog narrative for the whole nation. |
