In the more than 150-year-history of the Chicago Cubs, fans have been treated to countless firsts— the first manager of the franchise (Albert Spalding), the first Cub to make 3,000 hits (Cap Anson), the first night game at Wrigley (August 9, 1988 vs. the Mets), the first to hit 500 home runs (Ernie Banks), and the first Cubs pitcher to win the Cy Young Award (Ferguson Jenkins). The list goes on.
In Chicago Cubs Firsts, Al Yellon presents the stories behind the firsts in Cubs history in question-and-answer format. More than a mere trivia book, Yellon’s collection includes substantive answers to the question of “who was the first…?” on a variety of topics, many of which will surprise even seasoned fans of the Cubbies.
