Synopsis
From April 22, 1876, through 1997, more than 1,750 ballplayers have pulled on Cubs uniforms, and out of that number, co-authors Warren Wilbert and William Hageman have chosen players who have put together individual seasons of such magnificence that they have merited a top 50 billing. From Al Spalding to the peerless leader, Frank Chance, and on to "Ole Pete" Alexander and Hack Wilson, Gabby Hartnett and Billy Herman, and on to Ron Santo and "Let's Play Two" Ernie Banks. From the more recent past are Ryne Sandberg and Mark Grace. The famous and the not-so-famous are ranked in order from No. I through No. 50.

Review
The Chicago Cubs are the only baseball franchise that has operated continuously in the same city from its first game in 1876 to today. During that time over 1,750 ballplayers wore Cub uniforms. Authors Warren Wilbert and William Hageman have chosen from that long history Cubs players whose splendid banner seasons merit inclusion in their book, Chicago Cubs: Seasons at the Summit, The 50 Greatest Individual Seasons.
Strict guidelines were used to choose and rank the selections. Players could be listed only once, although other great years of players selected are noted as afterwards to their chapters. Players are evaluated in how the league and the Cubs fared in the player's big season and in comparison to the hitting and pitching characteristics of the league overall in the season. Ballpark idiosyncracies are weighed. Final statistical values are awarded in accordance with highly sophisticated sabermetric formulas. -- Sports Collectors Digest June 20, 1997 Richard Miller
