'Cubs Forever' documentary now a book


Here's a link to a video of Cubs announcer Harry Caray explaining where he does his baseball research: in bars. (You may be able to just view it in the player at the end of this post.) It's one of the interviews, apparently from a two-hour WGN-TV special, now out in book form. The book includes a DVD of the television special. This is a description of the book from WGN:

"Broadcasting the Chicago Cubs on WGN-TV is a tradition that goes back to the station’s founding itself. It was on April 16, 1948 that WGN Sports carried its first Chicago Cubs game. Sixty years of the Chicago Cubs on WGN-TV is the longest consecutive airing in television history. In classic style, the Cubs lost that first televised game. Bob Vorwald, Executive Producer of WGN Sports, compiled interviews and vintage photos in a book, Cubs Forever: Memories from the Men Who Lived Them.


The book is available from Tower books for under $18.
