The author was an assistant managing editor at Fortune magazine. From an on-line posting: In October 1908t he Cubs were, without doubt, baseball's greatest teamâ€"the first dynasty of the 20th century. Crazy '08 recounts the 1908 seasonâ€"the year when Peerless Leader Frank Chance's men went toe to toe to toe with John McGraw and Christy Mathewson's New York Giants and Honus Wagner's Pittsburgh Pirates in the greatest pennant race the National League has ever seen. The American League has its own three-cornered pennant fight, and players like Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and Hal Chase ensured that the other circuit had its moments. But it was the National League'sâ€"and the Cubs'â€"year. Crazy '08, however, is not just the exciting story of a great season. It is also about the forces that created modern baseball, and the America that produced it. In 1908, politicans ran Chicago's First Ward, and gambling magnates controlled the Yankees. Fans regularly invaded the field to do handstands or argue with the umps; others shot guns from rickety grandstands prone to burning. There were anarchists on the loose and racial killings in the town that made Lincoln. On the flimsiest of pretexts, General Abner Doubleday becomes a symbol of ...
