Heartbreak and hope. Charmed and haunted. My Cubs is Scott Simon’s love letter to his Chicago Cubs, World Series winners for the first time in over a century. Replete with personal reflections, club lore, memorable anecdotes, and tales of frenetic fandom, My Cubs recounts the franchise’s pivotal moments with the wise and adoring intimacy of a long-suffering devotee and Chicago native.

With the curse finally broken on November 2, 2016, My Cubs is the perfect portrayal of paradise lost and found.

How about the Nuggets

I love that Scott Simon read his own book. I a big fan of his weekend edition on Saturday mornings. In fact, I call it Scott Simon day. I love baseball. My team is a Rockies which hasn’t had its long history is the Cubs but they still have not won the World Series. They got there in 2007 after sweeping all the teams in the playoffs. They had a long period between the end of the National League title and the World Series. They played the Red Sox and lost in four games. I can relate to Scott Simmon’s story. I hope he reads this because it would be important for him to have the same feeling for the Denver Nuggets. Who is the last team to make it to the final games of the NBA. He was too enamored by LeBron James didn’t notice that the Nuggets played marvelously this year.
