Join us for a special 6pm event with ESPN sportscaster Jesse Rogers, who will talk about his new book, The Franchise: Chicago Cubs, co-written with Bruce Miles.  “There have been many histories written about the Cubs, but I find Bruce Miles and Jesse Rogers’s particularly fascinating because it weaves in stories and interviews about things you’ve probably heard about before, but perhaps not in this exact way.” – Al Yellon, Bleed Cubbie Blue
