AN IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE BUY

The Cubs Fan’s Guide to HappinessGEORGE ELLIS The Chicago Cubs tradition is one built on spectacular losing streaks and even more

spectacular collapses. Yet despite all the losses and disappointments, an amazing thinghappens every summer at the corner of Addison and Shefeld: millions of fans ockto Wrigley Field and millions more fans across the country regularly tune in towatch Cubs games broadcast on television. Exactly why Cubs fans support theirsquad with such reckless abandon isn’t entirely clear—these people represent aremarkable aberration of human psychology, epitomizing the spirit and experienceof dedication to a desperate cause. And the whole time, they’re oddly happy.

The Cubs Fan’s Guide to Happiness reveals what makes Cubs fans tick and what keepsthem happy. It explains why it’s not over until you’re mathematically eliminated,

why winning really isn’t everything, and why it’s perfectly acceptable to blame all yourtrouble on a scapegoat—which may or may not bean actual goat. The fully revisededition also provides educationalsidebars, practical applica-tions, and true words ofwisdom from celebrity Cubsfans as well as surviving theplanned renovations to theproduct on the eld andWrigley Field itself.

BASEBALL BEST SELLERS . . .

Core FourThe Heart and Soul of the Yankees DynastyPHIL PEPEFOREWORD BY DAVID CONE Tracing the careers of four instrumental players who turned around the Yankees ball club, this book sharesbehind-the-scenes stories from their early days together in the minors through the 2013 season, and followsthem on their majestic ride to the top of the baseball world. At a time when the New York Yankees were infree fall, having failed to win a World Series in 17 years and had not played in one in 14 years—the BronxBombers’ longest drought since before the days of Babe Ruth—along came four young players whose powerfulimpact returned the franchise to its former glory.

They were a diverse group from different parts of the globe: Mariano Rivera, a right-handed pitcher fromPanama, who was destined to become the all-time record holder in saves and baseball’s greatest closer; Derek

Jeter, a shortstop raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, who would become the rst Yankee to accumulate 3,000hits; Jorge Posada, an inelder-turned-catcher from Puerto Rico, who would hit more home runs than anyYankees catcher except the legendary Hall of Famer Yogi Berra; and Andy Pettitte, a lef t-handed pitcher bornin Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who would win more postseason games than any player in baseball history.

Together they formed the “Core Four,” and would go on to play as teammates for 13 seasons during whichtime they would help the Yankees advance to the postseason 12 times, win the American League pennantseven times, and take home ve World Series trophies. This book follows these phenoms from the minorleagues to the present, detailing their signicant contributions to a winning major league franchise. This 2014edition updates readers on Jeter’s struggles with injuries and recovery, Rivera’s nal season, and Pettitte’s and

Jeter’s plans moving forward.SPORTS/BASEBALL
