| Abstract
|
:
|
Miracle Collapse is the story of how one of the most talented Cubs teams ever to take the field-with Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, and ace pitcher Ferguson Jenkins among their ranks and led by the irascible manager Leo Durocher-raced to an early division lead and a seemingly certain pennant, only to unravel spectacularly at the season's end.
