The New York Times bestselling author of Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football "knocks it out of the park" (Vanity Fair) in this captivating blend of sports reportage and memoir, exploring the history of the 2016 World Series champions, the Chicago Cubs.
Now a New York Times bestsellerWhen Rich Cohen was eight years old, his father took him to see a Cubs game. On the way out of the park, his father asked him to make a promise. "Promise me you will never be a Cubs fan. The Cubs do not win," he explained, "and because of that, a Cubs fan will have a diminished life determined by low expectations. That team will screw up your life." Cohen became not just a Cubs fan but one of the biggest Cubs fans in the world. In this book, he captures the story of the team, its players and crazy days. Billy Sunday and Ernie Banks, Three Finger Brown and Ryne Sandberg, Bill Buckner, the Bartman Ball, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo--the early dominance followed by a 107 year trek across the wilderness. It's all here, in The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse--not just what happened, but what it felt like and what it meant. Featuring extensive interviews with players, owners, and coaches, this mix of memoir, reporting, history, and baseball theology--forty years in the making--has never been written because it never could be. Only with the 2016 World Series can the true arc ofthe story finally be understood.

Very stylish but not the best quality
Color: Silvery Gold green dial, Color: Silvery Gold green dial
You are getting what you pay for: the color of the dial is amazing. It looks so stylish and can really accessorize an outfit. The packaging of the watch was very nice and it came with tools to adjust the size of the watch. However the links color is not the best color and quality. The watch feels light but in a cheaper feel. I’ve ordered other watches from Amazon that in my opinion were nicer and felt and looked high end. I got this watch on sale for Black Friday but I’m not sure if I would pay full price for it.

Best watch for the retail price!
Color: 5885 blue dial
Ease of use:
All you have to do is put it on and it's self-winding and you never ever need to worry about batteries or winding it up! It's pretty accurate time as well and looks good! It's the best watch I've ever owned for this price and I even bought my son one for himself!

Real stainless band
Color: rose steel black dial, Color: rose steel black dial
My new favorite work watch. Wound up buying this after two failed attempts with other cheap watches from Wally world that turned my wrist black after the plating wore off in about three days. Learned my lesson. so far this thing keeps perfect time and does not turn my wrist black. Had to take a couple of links out for a perfect fit. So yeah, this will be the only brand of watch I will likely be buying from now on. Hope they’re around for a while.
Update* January 8 2026. Oh no, I had such high hopes for this watch brand BUT, I only had this watch for two months when it started dry moisture inside the crystal. No I am not a diver nor have I had the watch fully submerged. This thing is not water resistant at all. It may be great for Desert dwellers or for people who never take showers or baths with it on. Going back to my old favorite Armitron.
