Chicago Cubs Legends: Great Games Collector’s Edition

The Wrigley Field-faithful, those intrepid fans of the Chicago Cubs — perhaps the most beloved team in Major League Baseball, have a special bond and affection for their hometown heroes. Some players, with the right alignment of team success and stellar individual performance, achieve a level of adoration reserved for conquering warriors, long-lost sweethearts, or trusted friends. These icons are saluted and then elevated to a throne of the all-time idols of the ivy-sheltered Wrigley Field faithful. Just as the words “Waveland Avenue” conjure the images of windy city home runs, there are names and the games that summon the glory of Chicago Cubs baseball.

This remarkable compilation of full-game DVDs pays tribute to an extraordinary group of all-time Cubs performers and their unforgettable performances.
