This book is divided into multiple parts, with progressively more difficult questions in each new section.

Some of the many questions that this book answers include:
What was the original name of Wrigley Field when it opened in 1914?
On what date did the Cubs play their first Wrigley Field night game?
Which Cubs stalwart said, “I didn’t practice singing. I didn’t want to get on key?”
In 1992, who were the first four players elected by fans into the Cubs Walk of Fame?
In what year did the Cubs become the first team to reach .500 ten times through twenty games?
This book makes the perfect gift for any fan of the Cubbies!
