"Chicago Cubs fans always will remember the beloved 1969 team. Yet the 1970 Cubs are, in many ways, more interesting. The Cubs added ... characters like Joe Pepitone and Milt Pappas to the legendary nucleus of Billy Williams, Ron Santo, and Ernie Banks ... Offering a fast-paced look at the season month by month, William S. Bike moves beyond wins, losses, and statistics to relive Ernie Banks's 500th home run, the addition of the basket to the outfield walls, and other iconic moments from a landmark year at Wrigley Field"--Publisher marketing.
