Title: Disappointed
Product review: I was disappointed. The title says "Tales From the Cubs Dugout" and yet its obvious that the author didn't bother talking with any of the players. Where were the accounts in Ernie Banks' own words? Or Billy Williams? Or Ron Santo's? Or Andy Pafko's? Or Mark Grace? These players are all very accessible and are more than willing to talk about their days in a Cubs uniform.Instead, the author has chosen to re-tell stories that have been told over and over again. And even that's being generous as most of the tales aren't even tales - but rather more like summaries from old Cubs media guides.If this book had a different title - such as "Cubs Facts" or "The Players", etc., I would not have been as disappointed - that's why I give it two stars and not one. But when I see "Tales" in the title, I expect to read at least some narrative from the players themselves.
