What took so long? (Cubs’ David Ross pens book)

December 14, 2016

Admit it, baseball book fans: haven’t you been wondering when someone on the Cubs would publish a book? I man, it’s December already.

teammateSo thank you David Ross for stepping up and being the first.

According to FOXSports.com, Hachette Books will release “Teammate: My Life in Baseball” next May 9. Co-written by Don Yaeger, a longtime associate editor of Sports Illustrated and nine-time New York Times best-selling author, “the story will be framed around Game 7 of the World Series, the dramatic finale of Ross’ career.”

All due respect to Ross’s solid career, but this is the perfect example of a book that might not be written had it not been for the Cubs winning the World Series, let alone be published by a major outlet like Hachette and let alone rank under 5,000 before it even comes out. I guess you gotta strike while the iron is hot.
