sports publishing. A magical place. A magical team. A magical time... Every Springtime back then, the Chicago Cubs would hop a steamship for Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of sunny Southern California. The idea was to get in shape -- but the boys usually ended up sidetracked with . . . * Movie stars, like Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, & Olivia deHavilland * A future U.S. president, who got himself into a barroom brawl * Pranks and fish tales and earthquakes and landslides and wild boar and just about every kind of mis-adventure you can imagine -- and then some Their tales must be told -- with plenty of pictures. It's The Cubs on Catalina: A Scrapbookful of Memories About a 30-Year Love Affair Between One of Baseball's Classic Teams...& California's Most Fanciful Isle. It's 384 pages, more than 500 fabulous photos...and we hope you'd like to come along for the fun.
