About this ebook
“It’s Cubs’ baseball. Anything can happen.” So goes the magical journey of Wrigley Sanders, born in the bleachers of Wrigley Field and taught by his grandpa to throw with both arms. Wrigley grows up legally blind and partially deaf but determined to chase his dream of pitching for the Chicago Cubs. On his ninth birthday life throws Wrigley a nasty curve. Ultimately, his loss provides a unique gift that forever changes his path.
Filled with a colorful cast of characters, this positive coming of age tale follows Wrigley as he evolves from a lonely shut-in child to a young man who pitches with both arms and dreams of playing for the Chicago Cubs…and taking them to the World Series. But this story is more than about baseball, it’s about family, and growing up, and overcoming life’s challenges, and following your dreams – no matter where they take you.
