But the story \u003cbr\u003eof the Kane County Cougars of the single-A Midwest \u003cbr\u003eLeague has been one of tremendous successes on \u003cbr\u003ethe field, at the gates, and above all in the hearts of \u003cbr\u003ebaseball fans in Chicago's western suburbs. The team \u003cbr\u003econtinues to draw more than half a million fans to \u003cbr\u003eGeneva's cozy Elfstrom Stadium year after year, without ever being affiliated with the Cubs or Sox in the nearby city. They have fielded some top prospects, including 2003 World Series MVP Josh Beckett and his teammate Dontrelle Willis. They have battled in the post-season several times in their brief history, and they thrilled fans by winning the 1991 Midwest League Championship. Cougar fans will enjoy this pictorial tour through the club's first 15 seasons, which provides a local view of the history of the national pastime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Malamut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531619576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531619572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"David Malamut","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124571009279,"sku":"9781531619572","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53a4a77b-bb88-406d-bd6e-39fae5493ba7.jpg?v=1687437564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kane-county-cougars-david-malamut-9781531619572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
