FIVE MINUTES WITH JONATHAN EIG
---------------------------------------------------------
My brush with the Cubs:
I heard from a friend of a friend that Lou Piniella read my Gehrig bio.
Who (baseball player) were you (when you played as a kid):
Bobby Murcer.
Working on:
A tight deadline for my new Capone book.
Literary figure I'd hire to manage the Cubs:
Ahab, no doubt about it.
Most cherished Cubs memories:
The day after my daughter was born, I snuck out of the hospital while my wife slept and went to the ballpark to catch a few innings of the Yankees and Cubs, with Clemens trying for—and failing to get—his 300th win. Unfortunately, I failed to make it back before my wife awoke.
Best piece of Cubs memorabilia:
I have and still wear an original “No Lights at Wrigley” T-shirt.
The Cubs will win it all in 2009 because:
They’re sort of due, don’t you think?
The Cubs won't win it all in 2009 because:
They were sort of due, 80 years ago, don’t you think?
