Day Trips from Chicago: Getaway Ideas for the Local Traveler (Day Trips Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband and I together with our 8 year old son recently moved to the Chicago area. So, we decided that the best way to familiarize ourselves was to take day trips each weekend. Our objective was to see what our new surroundings had to offer without boring our son. We found Ms. Drake's "Day Trips From Chicago" on Amazon and it is a goldmine of valuable and entertaining information. We have used it every weekend and found some great trips which captured our son's interest as well as our own.

What if the world had never heard of Steve Bartman? What if Alex Gonzalez had fielded that ground ball cleanly, and turned the pair? What if Grady Little had listened when Pedro told him he was tired, and gone to the bullpen, which had, after all, been extremely effective throughout the post-season.This story is about how the world and the 2003 World Series would have been had those things happened.The stories in this book are a mixture of fact, fiction, fantasy, and fanaticism. Outside of New York and Florida, there was not a lot of sentiment for the Yankees and Marlins to get to the 2003 World Series. Even Fox Sports, Sports Business Journal, ESPN, and every other media in the country were pulling for a Cubs vs. Red Sox World Series.
