Sports Illustrated senior writer Tom Verducci and Crown Archetype, an imprint of Penguin Random House’s Crown Publishing Group, have partnered for a new book on the 2016 World Champion Chicago Cubs that will be published in early 2017.
THE CUBS WAY: The Zen of Building the Best Team in Baseball and Breaking the Curse will chronicle how the Cubs went from their days at the bottom of the National League in 2011 to the best team in major league baseball in 2016. Verducci was granted full access to Cubs president Theo Epstein, manager Joe Maddon and the entire roster that helped end the 108-year championship drought.
