A magical place.
A magical team.
A magical time...
Every Springtime back then, the Chicago Cubs would hop a steamship for Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of sunny Southern California. The idea was to get in shape -- but the boys usually ended up sidetracked with . . .
* Movie stars, like Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, & Olivia deHavilland
* A future U.S. president, who got himself into a barroom brawl
* Pranks and fish tales and earthquakes and landslides and wild boar and just about every kind of mis-adventure you can imagine -- and then some
Their tales must be told -- with plenty of pictures. It's The Cubs on Catalina: A Scrapbookful of Memories About a 30-Year Love Affair Between One of Baseball's Classic Teams...& California's Most Fanciful Isle. It's 384 pages, more than 500 fabulous photos...and we hope you'd like to come along for the fun.

Such a neat book, with great stories about the Cubs on the island and other interesting tidbits about Catalina Island. I could not put it down.
most probably because my great uncle, Charlie Root ( my dad's uncle) was mentioned in there several times. I wanted to find out more things about
Charlie and even found an awesome pic of him that resembled my dad oh so much!! anyway the whole book was so interesting and great for nostalgic Cubby Fans...so full of history. Makes me want to go back to Catalina and see the old ball field and other points of interest I missed the very first time. Kathy Brewer Muenz

Being a baseball enthusiast most of my life I found The Cubs on Catalina to be a wonderful book. It's filled with many pictures and interesting comments by the old players during the time they trained on the island off of California. When purchasing this book for myself I also bought an additional copy for a family member. We both loved the book and would highly recommend it to any devoted Cub fan, but also to anyone who loves the game of baseball. Living in So California for many years and visiting the Old Wrigley Field many times, I was familiar with some of the players mentioned in the book
Rated by buyers -
The Cubs on Catalina is filled with great pictures of the Chicago Cubs, not to mention the treasure trove of stories the old baseball players tell. I can't find any other book, or even a documentary, where there is so much engaging information about these three exciting decades of the Cubs' history. I recommend this book to all Cub fans.
