Review

"One of the best baseball stories ever, told by one of the best baseball writers ever. It does not get any better than this." —George F. Will“Few who have covered the game in any era can match Tom Verducci's combination of baseball insight and elegance as a writer. Those dual qualities make him the perfect guy to not only capture the experience of what the Cubs at long last achieved, but to explain the thinking and planning that led to last Fall's crescendo of emotions.” —Bob Costas"Verducci, a longtime baseball writer for Sports Illustrated, is perhaps the perfect scribe to tell this definitive tale, a generational talent who can talk numbers and remain awed at the game’s beauties. In one moment he’s describing player valuations, and in the next he’s admiring a grand painting. And to fully understand a modern-day championship team, that’s essential." —The Washington Post“The Cubs Way is a lush accounting of one of the most thrilling championship runs in American sports history—by the numbers and by the personalities that made it happen.” —The Wall Street Journal"The Cubs' epic triumph almost demanded that Tom Verducci, arguably the best baseball writer of this generation, weigh in with his perspective. The longtime Sports Illustrated veteran delivers in a big way with unique analysis that takes a deep, deep dive in trying to explain the wizardry of Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, Joe Maddon and the entire Cubs braintrust." —The Chicago Tribune“A must-read for any Cubs fan.” —SB Nation“In Mr. Verducci’s entertaining book, he notes that the ‘construction of a championship team is granular’ and the ‘final picture is a Seurat painting’ with ‘many tiny dots of color’ and ‘millions of reasons and thousands of cascading events.’ He’s right: The artistic brush containing the power of positivity helped make the Chicago Cubs winners once more.” —The Washington Times

This book is the real deal inside-story. Verducci was there through it all, he clearly did thorough interviews and research with everyone involved after the fact, and he sets up the time to tell his story the way he wants to. There are so many details here it's beautifully hard to take it all in, and as a Cubs fan, it still feels unreal.It is not a great work of literature, but there is some pretty writing. It is also, first and foremost, about the team and the Cubs organization - there are no fan interviews, no attempts to situate the incredible 2016 season in the broader cultural context of that crazy year. The story, and the people in it, exist in isolation. But it is a beautiful story about good people, and for any baseball fan, a well-written dive into the best baseball story of the last century. Highly recommended for a Cubs fan, recommended for a baseball fan, and enjoyable enough for anyone else.

Outstanding book. The format goes back and forth between the World Series and chapters on different pieces of the Cub plan for changing their culture and winning a World Series. I work in the Sport Psychology field and have a background in baseball so learning about the Cub culture is what drew me to the book. The inside access is phenomenal, and I found myself saying multiple times throughout, "Man, I can't believe they let him print that." If you have interest in the inner workings of professional baseball, this is a book for you. If you have interest in culture-building, this is a book for you. If you just like the Cubs or baseball, this is a book for you. It's right up there with a book called Legacy for me. Loved it!

Last night at Major League Baseball’s All-Star game, Chicago Cubs Manager Joe Maddon led the National League’s elites to a narrow loss, 2 to 1, in an extra-inning pitchers battle. (You think your job is challenging? Imagine trying to coalesce big egos and big bats into one harmonious team in less than 24 hours.)According to author/sports writer Tom Verducci, Maddon is “the Johnny Appleseed of aphorisms.” On the first day of the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 spring training camp, Maddon delivered his first of three “annual meetings” speeches to the players—and his pithy observations were boiled down to six points (#1: “Embrace the target.”), two key words—Expectations and Pressure—and then six more one-liners, including “Do simple better” and “The process simplifies the task.”Time-out! Wait-a-minute! Is this a baseball book—or a management book? Yes…and it’s already on my Top-10 list for 2017, and just might be my Book-of-the-Year pick. It’s amazing—and I’ve already shipped copies to two friends."The Cubs Way: The Zen of Building the Best Team in Baseball and Breaking the Curse," by Tom Verducci, senior baseball writer for Sports Illustrated, is 375 pages of leadership/management savvy, page-turning drama, and behind-the-scenes sports innovations.Are you trying to change the culture in your organization? Imagine arriving as president of Cubs baseball operations in 2012 (and enduring a 101-loss season), keeping fans engaged during the building process, then hiring a new manager in 2015—and WHACK!—in 2016, the Cubs win their first World Series since 1908!Did I mention that the instant-classic-of-a-series with Cleveland culminated in a sudden death Game 7 in Cleveland on November 2, 2016? Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win! (Did I mention it was also my birthday?)OK…slight conflict of interest. I’m a Cubs fan. I endured 21 winters in the Chicago area, but enjoyed numerous summer afternoon baseball games at Wrigley Field, nicknamed "The Friendly Confines", a phrase popularized by "Mr. Cub", Hall of Fame shortstop and first baseman Ernie Banks (“Let’s play two!”). Read my review of A Nice Little Place on the North Side: Wrigley Field at One Hundred.But trust me—whether you’re a baseball fan or not, whether you’re a Cubs fan or not, you’ll love this book—if you have any inclination to enrich your leadership and management style.So…back to Maddon’s speech in 2016. His iPad notes also included three favorite leadership quotes:• “Change before you have to.” (Jack Welch)• “Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening when you would have preferred to talk.” (Doug Larson)• “Communication creates collaboration. Big ears are better than big egos. When you’re not listening, ask good questions.” (Bill Walsh)Those insights are from page 261, just one of 54 pages I noted on the blank pages in the front of my book. (I learn with a pen.) Actually, I tried to read the book just for fun. Couldn’t! Fifty pages in I started making notes.Let me tempt you with nine more management morsels. Chew slowly:#9. Recalibrate. In Game 7 of the World Series, the heavens opened and a 17-minute rain delay sent the players to their locker rooms after the ninth inning, with the score tied. In a players-only meeting, the Cubs used that “divine intervention” of 17 minutes to recalibrate. Memo to managers: consider a 17-minute recalibration exercise when your team is stuck. (See Chapter 19.)#8. Activate. Theo Epstein was hired as the youngest general manager in MLB history when the Boston Red Sox hired him in 2002 at age 28. In 2004, the Red Sox won their first World Series championship in 86 years and won another championship in 2007. So when Epstein joined the Cubs in 2012, he systematized almost everything with a 259-page manual. (Imagine!) He then asked the staff to be responsible “for turning those words into a workplace environment that promoted growth.” (See Chapter 6 to understand “The Cubs Way.”) Have you activated a “words into action” plan?#7. Read. To develop the communication skills of a future team leader, Manager Joe Maddon gave infielder Addison Russell (“too quiet for a middle infielder”) a reading assignment: Stephen King’s historical novel, 11/22/63: A Novel. “Maddon asked Russell to report back every 50 to 100 pages to discuss it.” By the way, Russell hit a grand slam in Game 6—just the 19th player to do so in a World Series.#6. Exploit. In addition to the hyper-focus on analytics and technology in baseball today (stunning!), Epstein made a bet on an “old-school resource: people.” The author quotes their early aspirations:--“…maybe we can be better than anyone else with how we treat our players and how we connect with players and the relationships we develop…--Maybe our environment will be the best in the game…--Maybe our vibe will be the best in the game…--Maybe our players will be the loosest and maybe they’ll have the most fun…--And maybe they’ll care the most.”#5. Communicate. One of Epstein’s big a-ha! moments: just for fun, he pulled out a scouting report on a player-turned-coach—and his coach was stunned to read that the scout noted areas needing improvement, but no one had told him during his playing days! Who needs to improve but has never received feedback from you?#4. Relocate. “After the 2012 season, as he does every year, Epstein took a Change of Scenery survey. He asked his 40 or so scouts and baseball operations people to submit a list of names of major and minor league players they believed would flourish with a change of scenery and why.#3. Balance. Even baseball players crave a balanced life, so when the Cubs were recruiting Pitcher Jon Lester in 2015, they noted that “the Cubs fly the fewest miles in baseball over the course of a regular season, and how a home schedule heavily tilted toward day games would allow the Lesters to have breakfast with their kids and tuck them in at night on 63 game days.”#2. Prioritize. CEOs and managers will pick up immediate interviewing techniques from "The Cubs Way." Example: Epstein interviewed Maddon with “a long list of a manager’s responsibilities, including empowering the coaching staff, working with the media, handling the bullpen, creating lineups, dealing with a petulant superstar, and running spring training.” The assignment: place them in order of importance and explain why.#1. Teach. In his early years, Maddon led baseball clinics across Europe and “the preparation and teaching emboldened him.” He observed, “You will remember 75 percent of what you write down…and you will remember 90 percent of what you teach. So I wrote it down and then I taught it.” What’s the learning style of your team members?Go Cubs!

Tom Verducci spends a considerable time alternating between the building of the team concept and each game of the World Series. He had considerable access to Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, and Joe Maddon. The reader gets an inside view into Epstein's design to build a team of players with character and leadership skills at the forefront. Despite the revisionists who view team chemistry as voodoo and counter to analytics, Epstein was convinced by his experience at Boston. That experience (even the negative experience with Nomar Garciaparra) forged a search to find the character of a player, his willingness to yield individual glory for the benefit of the team. Sure, skills mattered too but leadership and character would be Epstein's ultimate design for "That's Cub". The former analytics zen would yield to a more holistic approach.He found that starter kit with Anthony Rizzo and added pieces along the way; namely Kyle Schwarber, Cody Ross, Albert Almora, Kris Bryant, and Addison Russell. The big pieces were home grown and nurtured with the "Cubs Way". (Ironically just one year after the success of the club, Russell embarrasses the team and ownership by violating MLB's Domestic Violence policy and he was reduced to a non-entity.) The design called for four impact player-all position players. Unlike the conventional wisdom of the day, Epstein decried drafts for starting pitchers in favor of guys like Scwarber, Bryant, and Javy Baez. In his view, it was a safer bet-think bonds over stocks. The pitching staff would almost exclusively come from trades or free agents. In the World Series Maddon used eleven pitchers, none home grown.To augment his philosophy he hired a manager who shared his vision. Joe Maddon. As Verducci says,"His golden rule of managing can be summed up this way: 'before you can manage and lead, first you must establish trust, and before you can establish trust, first you need to establish a personal relationship with your players'. Much of the book's pages are filled with examples of how those guiding principles played out in 2015 and 2016. Ironically, even Epstein and Maddon would sacrifice their value system for the goal of victory. They traded a couple of their best prospects(Glyber Torres) before the trading deadline to obtain Aroldis Chapman who had been arrested for a domestic dispute involving the discharge of a firearm at his home. (Jeff Luhnow GM of the Astros made the same choice with his team when he signed Roberto Osuna in 2018 under similar domestic violations).Using traditional scouting methods to teach young players to "B Hack" when faced with a two trike count, to the state of the art neuroscience that Epstein introduced, the Cubs won the NL flag. At 4AM in the empty confines of Wrigley Field, an ecstatic Theo Epstein and his Pearl Jam friend Eddie Venters played catch in the aftermath of the celebration like young kids.The description of game 7 of the World Series by Verducci is priceless. I loved to hear the mental process at work in the minds of Epstein, Hoyer, and especially Maddon in the management of that almost unparalleled deciding game of a series is exhilarating. Verducci got some exclusives and they are captivating. Rizzo's sudden turn about in hitting had been chalked up as pure luck because he borrowed a teammates bat which was allegedly the same weight and length. Rizzo confided in Verducci during the WS that in fact he was fatigued and too a lighter and shorter bat, but Rizzo didn't want the Tribe to know. You will hear Maddon's take on his controversial use of Chapman in the final games of the series and David Ross' perceptions as the catcher. You will relive the famous seventeen minute rain delay and the speech that a struggling but unselfish Jason Heyward gave that turned the tide and showed that leadership really does count. If you are wondering whether to read this book, I will leave you with this anecdote from Verducci. After the rain delay, as the two teams took the field for extra innings, umpire chief Joe West walked past Verducci toward the right field line and the author said, "What do you think Joe"? He replied, "If you don't love this, there is something wrong with you."
