Sports Illustrated Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Champions Commemorative Issue – Team Celebration Cover: Cubs Win!
Description
The story of what happened to the Chicago Cubs franchise on a warm, rainy
night in November in the seventh game of the 2016 World Series will be told a
hundred years from now, just as the last century overflowed with tales of
strange curses and heartbreaking collapses for the club. However, the result
of this game differed from all the others over the previous 107 years. It
ended with Chicago winning the World Series, washing away the most infamous
drought in American sports. Sports Illustrated’s Chicago Cubs World Series
championship special commemorative issue details every step of that remarkable
story, from the creation of the team’s roster to the champagne-drenched
celebration in the locker room moments after the Cubs’ historic victory. The
past and present of the club’s history is captured in 116 colorful pages
featuring SI’s trademark prose and photographs. Relive the team’s dominant
regular season and exciting playoff run. Go deep with probing looks at staff
aces Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester, clubhouse leader Anthony Rizzo, all-
everything slugger Kris Bryant and unorthodox manager Joe Maddon. Get a blast
from the past with a march through the Cubbies’ memorable history, including
its most inglorious moments. Pay homage to the team’s faithful Northside
fanbase and its jewel box of a ballpark, Wrigley Field. This special edition
is a fitting salute to one of the most storied franchises in all of sports.
