The Ultimate Cubs Companion is a new and updated encyclopedia with all the information every Cubs fan will want. If it's statistics you're looking for, we've got 'em. From batting registers to pitching registers, from fielding stats to baserunning stats, this book provides the statistics (year by year and career) for every player to ever spend time in a Cubs uniform. It includes records by year, by manager, by general manager, and even by owner. Fans will find where the Cubs ended up in each year's National League pennant race, read about the 25 greatest games in Cubs history, and read a year-by-year history of the team's broadcasters.
Going beyond the stats, the book presents information on some of the top players and years in Cubs history. Each Cubs postseason appearance gets its own special section too, with box scores, series evaluations, and playoff-specific statistics. There's also information on each Cubs All-Star, award-winners such as Cy Young and MVP recipients, and Hall of Famers who've spent time on the North Side as well as the selection of a Cubs all-time team.
Fans can also read about the history of the Cubs farm system, see a listing of free-agent signings, and get statistics on the team's draft picks throughout the years. There is even a listing and synopsis of every Cubs movie that has been released. If it happened to, for, or with the Cubs, then the Companion has it covered. Fans who want to start winning some barroom bets at Murphy's can pick up and read The Ultimate Cubs Companion, and they'll be drinking for free soon enough!

The Tigers experienced a rebirth in 2006, and now you can take a look back at all that has happened in the history of the franchise with The Ultimate Tigers Companion, a new encyclopedia that is the most up-to-date and comprehensive Tigers-specific reference available.
If it's stats you crave, you'll find them in droves. From batting registers to pitching registers, from fielding stats to baserunning stats, the statistics (year-by-year and career) for every player to ever wear the Old English D are included. Fans can re-live each pennant race, read about the 25 greatest games in Tigers history, and see a compilation of records sorted by year, manager, general manager, and even owner. There's even a year-by-year history of broadcasters.
Statistics don't tell the whole story, though, so the Companion includes information on some of the top players and years in team history. There's a special section for each Tigers postseason series--2006 included--with box scores, series evaluations, and postseason statistics for each. And every Tiger that made the All-Star team, won a post-season award, or reached the Hall of Fame is profiled and honored as well. There is even an all-time Tigers team selected (and they may not be all the guys you would expect).
The construction of the team is also covered, with a history of the farm system, a look at free-agent signings (boons and busts), and statistics on the team's successes and failures in the draft. If it happened to, for, or with the Tigers, then the Companion has it covered. |
