This book would be memoir of Ross' career -- written with veteran collaborator Don Yaeger -- with the championship run at Wrigley this year as the capstone through line. The book's captivating frame is the final day of Ross's career - Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, with looks book at pivotal moments in Ross' life and career. Ross's fairy-tale season is a feel-good story that captures the hearts of Cubs die-hards and baseball fans everywhere.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 156mmItem Length: 237mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 470gAuthor: Don Yaeger, David RossContributor: Theo Epstein (Introduction by)Genre: BiographyTopic: Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
