Cursed, Crushed, and Crowned: A Century with the Chicago Cubs
By Kevin Whitehead

For more than a hundred years, the Chicago Cubs carried the weight of heartbreak, hope, and history on their shoulders. From the superstition of the Billy Goat curse to the euphoria of finally breaking it in 2016, Cursed, Crushed, and Crowned tells the unforgettable story of baseball’s most loyal fans and their beloved team.

In this richly written tribute, author Kevin Whitehead takes readers on a nostalgic tour through every era of Cubs baseball—the heartbreaks that tested faith, the heroes who became legends, and the moments that united generations inside the ivy-covered walls of Wrigley Field.

You’ll revisit:

• The rise and fall of the early dynasties of the 1900s

• The infamous curses and near-misses that defined decades

• The legends—from Ernie Banks and Ron Santo to Ryne Sandberg and Kris Bryant

• The storybook 2016 World Series that ended 108 years of waiting

Part history, part celebration, Cursed, Crushed, and Crowned captures what it truly means to be a Cubs fan—the heartbreak, the humor, and the unbreakable belief that “there’s always next year.”

Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a baseball history enthusiast, or simply someone who loves an underdog story that ends in triumph, this book belongs on your shelf.
