    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The most important game of the Chicago Cubs’ century-long championship drought was drawing near. Joe Maddon was tasked with figuring out how to dent Cleveland starting pitcher Corey Kluber, the ace who had held the Cubs to one run over 12 innings in his two starts in the series.

    #2 The Cubs’ lineup for Game 7 against the Indians was packed with youth: Addison Russell, 22; Javier Baez, 23; Kris Bryant, 24; and Willson Contreras, 24. Only one other team in World Series history has started so many players under age 25 in a Game 7, and that team lost 7-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1967.

    #3 The game plan for the World Series was to start with Kyle Hendricks, the low-key, low-velocity control artist, and end with Chapman, the hardest-throwing pitcher on the planet. The key piece to the plan was another starting pitcher, Jon Lester, who had two days of rest since throwing 90 pitches in his Game 5 win.

    #4 In the Cubs’ World Series plan, they only wanted Hendricks to give them five innings because they were counting on Lester and Chapman to take care of the other four.
