Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Chicago Club It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say that the early settlers of Chicago did not come here for their health. Few of them had enjoyed much previous experience of clubs, and if their Opinion had been requested would probably have pro nounced them an undesirable influence in the community. What little leisure the intense activity of their lives per mitted they preferred to spend at their own firesides, and many of those who are now Chicago's wealthiest citizens were then young clerks who slept over their places of business, from motives of prudence or economy, and were too much occupied in laying the foundations of their fortunes to feel any need of clubs.

Mr. Wrigley's Ball Club
Author: Roberts Ehrgott
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 080326478X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Chicago in the Roaring Twenties was a city of immigrants, mobsters, and flappers with one shared passion: the Chicago Cubs. It all began when the chewing-gum tycoon William Wrigley decided to build the world’s greatest ball club in the nation’s Second City. In this Jazz Age center, the maverick Wrigley exploited the revolutionary technology of broadcasting to attract eager throngs of women to his renovated ballpark. Mr. Wrigley’s Ball Club transports us to this heady era of baseball history and introduces the team at its crazy heart—an amalgam of rakes, pranksters, schemers, and choirboys who take center stage in memorable successes, equally memorable disasters, and shadowy intrigue. Readers take front-row seats to meet Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Joe McCarthy, Lewis “Hack” Wilson, Gabby Hartnett. The cast of characters also includes their colorful if less-extolled teammates and the Cubs’ nemesis, Babe Ruth, who terminates the ambitions of Mr. Wrigley’s ball club with one emphatic swing.
