Publisher's Summary: In the summer of 1908, the world-champion Chicago Cubs traveled to Onamata, Iowa, for an exhibition game against all-stars from the Iowa Baseball Confederacy, an amateur league. It was to be a short, pleasant, and, the Cubs thought, one-sided, game. Instead, it turned out to be a titanic battle of over 2,000 innings, played mostly in the pouring rain. There is no proof that this game happened. There's no hint of it in the record books and no one remembers it or the Confederacy. Still, it is the quest of one man, Gideon Clarke, to prove to the world that it did. |
