<DIV>Legendary broadcaster Jack Brickhouse once said "any team can have a bad century." He was joking, of course, but the Chicago Cubs franchise, whose games he worked for decades, entered 2008 on the brink of making his words come painfully true. A number of expansion teams in the four major sports never have won a World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or NBA title in their brief histories. But no team ever has gone 100 years without winning a championship. Following the Cubs' quest to avert that infamous distinction is the backdrop for <EM>Living the Dream</EM>, which, for author Jim McArdle, it truly was. McArdle, a former Cubs employee as editor of the official team magazine <EM>Vine Line</EM>, quit his job to devote himself completely to the 2008 Cubs' season.
