Book Reviews of Cubs: Where Have You Gone?
Book Review: Little about where they have gone....
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a disappointment. By the title, I expected to read about what these ex-Cubs had done since retiring. Instead, the book was mostly a rehash of statistics with a few recent interview comments pasted in. The stories had only a sentence or two about what they do today then immediately described some events and statistics from their playing days. Worse, several paragraphs were repeated in multiple chapters, possibly to put into context the events of the time... but these repeated paragraphs were not personalized around that player. This book had the feeling of an author with a deadline to write x number of pages, but not the time to do the research.
Rick Talley's book, "The Cubs of '69" was a much better effort in providing insight into many of these players, though now dated (since it was published in 1989). It is too bad, because I think there could be a common theme around many of these players from different Cub generations... but there just isn't enough depth here.
