Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"This is a great story about a great team and a great dream. It reveals the secrets of an enduring love and a magical journey. It is a story passionately told by a Cubs fan. And, it is about the passion of Cubs fans. I think that's perfect, because as they say, it takes one to know one."--Billy Williams, from the foreword
From the Inside Flap
If you are a Cubs fan, this is your story. Our Team, Our Dream is a passionate photo documentary highlighting 15 seasons with the Chicago Cubs--capturing the very heart and soul of the most devoted fans in the world and answering the question, Why do the Cubs remain so popular decade after decade? Through compelling photography and enlightening text, both created by award-winning photojournalist and Cubs fan Tammy Lechner, you encounter the essence of a spirited commitment that has lived through one century and now continues its tradition in a new millennium.
Our Team, Our Dream begins its journey with the annual Cubs Convention, travels to Arizona where hope is renewed in the fresh breeze of spring, continues into the baseball season to meet the Cubs players along with the die-hard fans of Wrigleyville, and dances through the decades of Cubs history and legends.
More than 300 one-of-a-kind photographs depict the Cubs fans' optimism, while a heartening narrative waxes romantic as it explores the reasons why Cubs fans love their team and hold onto their dream of a World Series title...even if it takes forever.

A Must-Have Book for EVERY Chicago Cubs Fan!,
By
This review is from: The Chicago Cubs: Our Team, Our Dream: A Cub's Fan's Journey into Baseball's Greatest Romance (Hardcover)
Through poetic and personal writing combined with powerful and passionate photographs author Tammy Lechner magnificently depicts and explains the Cubs Fans' journey of hope and faith. This book belongs in the home of anyone who loves the Chicago Cubs. I cannot imagine a Cubs fan who would not see this book as coming from their own heart and soul, and describing their own story of why the Chicago Cubs are loved by so many. It is a one-of-a kind, must-have, long-awaited visual narrative of the Cubs fans devotion that travels through time from winter to spring, summer to fall, visiting Chicago, Arizona... Banks, Williams, Sandberg and Grace... and fellow Cubs fans from Chicago to St. Louis to San Diego.

This review is from: The Chicago Cubs: Our Team, Our Dream: A Cub's Fan's Journey into Baseball's Greatest Romance (Hardcover)
If your a Red Sox fan, Yankees fan, Dodgers fan, or Angels fan, your not going to be particularly thrilled with this book. You'll like it, but not love it. However, if you are among the millions, world wide, that love their Cubs you must own this book. It's nostalgia and current. Great photos and a story worth telling. For every Cubs fan that needs help getting through the winter, in Chicago, this book is a must have.
