520    On October 12, 2011, Theo Epstein became the new Chicago 
       Cubs president of baseball operations, flipping a switch 
       on the lovable-loser franchise and initiating a plan to 
       accomplish in Chicago what he'd succeeded in as general 
       manager of the Boston Red Sox: ending a World Series 
       drought. It would require a complete team tear-down and 
       turnover, a new farm system foundation of young talent 
       which Epstein and Cubs GM Jed Hoyer gradually added to 
       with gutsy trades and timely signings. After years of 
       rebuilding, Epstein's crystalline vision has been 
       unquestionably realized in the form of one of the most 
       exciting teams in baseball, led by heavyweights like 
       Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, and Jake Arrieta. In Lovable 
       Winners, David Kaplan of CSN Chicago and ESPN Radio goes 
       behind the scenes with the Cubs and their front office, 
       walking the steps of their captivating rise. Featuring 
       exclusive interviews with Epstein, owner Tom Ricketts, and
       other team insiders, this is the definitive account of a 
       new era on the North Side.
