Shameless plug for Al's book. My copy arrived today (about two weeks ahead of schedule) via Amazon.com. Can't wait to dive into this. It's 340+ pages and loaded with content. Check it out!

I was surprised and pleased to receive mine last week

A wealth of numerical tidbits.

Kasey and others did a spectacular job putting this to paper. Kudos to all of you!

Thanks to both of you!

Another shameless plug: You can order it for immediate (well, as fast as USPS will get it to you) delivery by the link on the right sidebar.

Also now available in Chicago-area Barnes & Noble and Borders.

So I'm assuming

we can go into any B & N and get one transferred to our local store

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

I don't know how B&N works that...

… but if you have done that before at a B&N, I assume you can do it with this book. Go ask, or just order one off the link on the sidebar.

Just spoke to my dad, he loves the copy of Maple Street Press Cubs Annual 2009 he received last weekend

Cubs By The Numbers

Cubs By The Numbers is a history of the ballclub by uniform number, but the biographies help trace the history of our beloved team in a new way. For everyone who's a Cubs fan, anyone who ever wore the uniform is like family. Cubs By The Numbers reintroduces readers to some of their long-lost ancestors, even ones they think they already know.
