Curse? There Ain't No Stinking Chicago Cub Curse

Curse? There Ain’t No Stinking Cub Curse and Other Stories about Sports and Gamesmanship is a collection of eleven entertaining, thought-provoking stories about sports and the games people play. From baseball, golf, and tennis to bocce ball, blackjack, and Scrabble, these games demonstrate the good and bad facets of the human competitive spirit. A golfing womanizer takes the old adage, so much fun to be had, and so little time just a bit too much to heart; a woman comes up with a system for betting at the racetrack—and wins every time; a pair of adult brothers revert to childish competition to prove themselves; a woman searches for Mr. Right on a Scrabble date; and the wily owner of the Cubs uses an infamous curse in order to transform his team into a money-making franchise.

Curse? There Ain’t No Stinking Cub Curse and Other Stories about Sports and Gamesmanship is a collaborative effort that brings both a male and female perspective to what’s funny, what’s ironic, about the way we compete.
