Description
In The Million-to-One Team, author George Castle traces all the management actions and strategies that kept the Cubs on the golf course in October while every other team in existence in 1945 has been in at least one World Series, and a goodly number in far more than that. Castle also looks at the proverbial glimmer of hope that could end the unparalleled championship drought.

Castle has also appeared on a wide variety of network radio-including ESPN, Sporting News, and Sirius-and local sports-talk radio programs.
