In the more than 140-year-history of the Chicago Cubs, fans have been treated to countless firsts -- well-known things such as the first Cubs Black player (Ernie Banks), the first night game at Wrigley (August 9, 1988 vs. the Mets), the first to win a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in the same year (Ryne Sandberg), and the first Cubs pitcher to win the Cy Young Award (Ferguson Jenkins). The list goes on.

In Chicago Cubs Firsts, Al Yellon presents the stories behind those and other firsts in Cubs history in question-and-answer format. More than a mere trivia book, Yellon's collection includes substantive answers to the question of "Who (or when) was the first...?" on a variety of topics, many of which will surprise even seasoned fans of the North Siders.
