  • Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

  • Cubs Daily Clips
    September 10, 2016 Cubs.com Lester, Bryant lower Cubs' magic number to 7 By Brian McTaggart and Jordan Ray HOUSTON -- He could have been an Astro, and on Friday night, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant served up a reminder of the kind of impact he could have had at Minute Maid Park. Bryant, taken by the Cubs as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 Draft after the Astros passed on him with the top pick, clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth inning to back seven scoreless from Jon Lester to send the Cubs to a 2-0 win over the Astros, lowering Chicago's magic number to 7. "It still feels like we're just right in the middle of the season, but we feel like we're getting to baseball that actually really matters," Bryant said. "Anything can happen in the full season, so you've got to get there first, and we certainly feel like we're playing really good baseball right now." The Astros have lost three in a row and remain 2 1/2 games back in the race for the second American League Wild Card spot behind both the Orioles and Tigers, who drew even on Friday with Detroit's 4-3 win over Baltimore. "We did have some chances," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "Lester's a good pitcher and he has a way of finding himself out of these jams. We did get the leadoff runner on about half the innings against Lester but couldn't quite get the big hit.

  • Kyle Hendricks Newsletter
    In the spirit of giving this holiday season, Chicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks and new wife, Emma, have signed on to give their time to Special Olympics Illinois. The two will serve as “Star Champion” Ambassadors to help promote the organization and the mission. Hendricks made his major league debut in 2014, and the following season became a member of the Cubs’ starting rotation. During Game 6 of the NLCS in 2016, Hendricks pitched in the clinching game to send the Cubs to their first World Series since 1945. The Cubs won the 2016 World Series over the Cleveland Indians, with Hendricks as the starting pitcher in Games 3 and 7, giving them their first title in 108 years. He remains a valuable asset to the team’s starting line-up. Kyle and Emma joined Special Olympics for a Town Hall gathering at Soldier Field to help promote the 50th Anniversary events coming to Chicago in 2018. There they were presented with plaques for their commitment to the movement. The pair participated in a Unified Yoga session with Special Olympics Illinois athletes over the summer for an upcoming segment on A&E’s Celebrity Sweat. Kyle and Emma generously arranged seats and treats at the Chicago Cubs game for the athletes and their families following their taping. “Kyle and his wife Emma, are dedicated to raising awareness for Special Olympics Illinois as well as the global 50th Anniversary of Special Olympics,” says Dave Breen, President and CEO of Special Olympics Illinois. “Professional athletes bring awareness to the athletes we serve, allowing them to advocate for themselves through sport.
