The dramatic story of a legendary 1979 slugfest between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, full of runs, hits, and subplots, on the cusp of a new era in baseball history

It was a Thursday at Chicago's Wrigley Field, mostly sunny with the wind blowing out. Nobody expected an afternoon game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs on May 17, 1979, to be much more than a lazy early-season contest matching two teams heading in opposite directions--the first-place Phillies and the Cubs, those lovable losers--until they combined for thirteen runs in the first inning. "The craziest game ever," one player called it. "And then the second inning started."

Ten Innings at Wrigley is Kevin Cook's vivid account of a game that could only have happened at this ballpark, in this era, with this colorful cast of heroes and heels: Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Bruce Sutter, surly slugger Dave Kingman, hustler Pete Rose, unlucky Bill Buckner, scarred Vietnam vet Garry Maddox, troubled relief pitcher Donnie Moore, clubhouse jester Tug McGraw, and two managers pulling out what was left of their hair.

It was the highest-scoring ballgame in a century, and much more than that. Cook reveals the human stories behind a contest the New York Times called "the wildest in modern history" and shows how money, muscles, and modern statistics were about to change baseball forever.

Nutritious, Flavorful, and Convenient for My Little Explorer!
Flavor Name: World Explorers Variety Pack, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 18)
I recently purchased the Serenity Kids 7+ Months World Explorers Baby Food Pouches Starter Pack for my 10 month-old son, and it’s been a fantastic addition to our on-the-go feeding routine! This pack includes six 3.5-ounce BPA-free pouches featuring globally inspired flavors like Free Range Chicken Tikka Masala, Grass Fed Beef Chimichurri, and Wild Caught Salmon Teriyaki, which introduce bold, savory tastes to my son’s palate. As a parent prioritizing clean, organic ingredients, I love that these pouches are made with ethically sourced, regeneratively farmed meats and USDA-certified organic vegetables, herbs, and spices, with no added sugars, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Each pouch delivers 5g of protein and 5g of healthy fats, mimicking the macronutrient profile of breast milk, which is perfect for supporting my son’s growth during this critical “flavor window” (4-18 months) when taste preferences develop. The convenience of these pouches is a game-changer for busy days. They’re shelf-stable, so I can toss them into our diaper bag for outings without worrying about refrigeration, and the smooth puree texture is ideal for my son, who’s transitioning to solids. He absolutely loves the Chicken Mexican Stew and Beef Kebab flavors, devouring them straight from the pouch in minutes! The variety of international recipes not only makes mealtime exciting but also helps expose him to diverse flavors, which I hope will prevent picky eating down the road. I also appreciate Serenity Kids’ commitment to quality, with Clean Label Project Purity Award certification and third-party testing for over 200 contaminants, giving me peace of mind about safety. One minor suggestion would be to include a slightly larger pouch size for hungrier babies, as my son sometimes wants more than the 3.5 ounces. Additionally, while the flavors are well-balanced, the ginger in the Beef Kebab can be a touch strong for some babies, though my son didn’t mind. These are small nitpicks, as the pouches are otherwise perfect for our needs. I highly recommend the Serenity Kids World Explorers Starter Pack to parents looking for healthy, convenient, and flavorful baby food that supports both nutrition and palate development. It’s a premium product that’s worth every penny for busy families who want the best for their little ones!

Great taste, good variety.
Flavor Name: World Explorers Variety Pack, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 18)
My kiddo loves these. Her favorite one is the Mexican Chicken Stew. If I can't get her to eat because she has teeth coming in, I can always get her to eat one of these. I keep them in the fridge so that they are cold and she likes them better cold. They are a little pricey but the flavors are delicious and she eats finishes them in a few minutes. I also use them for on the go if we are going to be running errands or going to the park I can just open one and she is good to go.

Toddler loves them
Flavor Name: World Explorers Variety Pack, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I like the variety of flavors that I don’t get with standard food pouches. They’re like the food we eat, but they’re safe for my daughter which gives me peace of mind. I would buy more, more often, if it weren’t for the price.
