George Will-he's a baseball fan too submitted by plai on August 12, 2019, 11:35am I like George Will. But this book is hard to read post Chicago Cubs World Series win. Just reading the first few pages was tiring and depressing. It's no fun when the author sounds so down about the Cubs. I would love to see him write another book now that the Cubs have won a Championship.
