The dramatic story of a legendary 1979 slugfest between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, full of runs, hits, and subplots, on the cusp of a new era in baseball history

It was a Thursday at Chicago's Wrigley Field, mostly sunny with the wind blowing out. Nobody expected an afternoon game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs on May 17, 1979, to be much more than a lazy early-season contest matching two teams heading in opposite directions--the first-place Phillies and the Cubs, those lovable losers--until they combined for thirteen runs in the first inning. "The craziest game ever," one player called it. "And then the second inning started."

Ten Innings at Wrigley is Kevin Cook's vivid account of a game that could only have happened at this ballpark, in this era, with this colorful cast of heroes and heels: Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Bruce Sutter, surly slugger Dave Kingman, hustler Pete Rose, unlucky Bill Buckner, scarred Vietnam vet Garry Maddox, troubled relief pitcher Donnie Moore, clubhouse jester Tug McGraw, and two managers pulling out what was left of their hair.

It was the highest-scoring ballgame in a century, and much more than that. Cook reveals the human stories behind a contest the New York Times called "the wildest in modern history" and shows how money, muscles, and modern statistics were about to change baseball forever.

Effective
I normally do not have oily skin, however lately my forehead and nose have been super oily and it's driving me crazy! Maybe I overdid it with tons of new skincare I've been trying out. I recently got the Thayer's milky toner and I love it so so much, but I thought I should try this one instead because my face gets greasy halfway through the work day lately. I've been using this after washing my face before bed and when I wake up and I think it is working so well to reduce the oily skin. It's also this really unique jelly texture and feels cool and smooth on my skin

Clean product
This is a great value for the price you pay for the product. It’s easy to use. It does have a gel type consistency, That’s very easy to put on your face. It does not have any lingering smell or odor. And it does a nice job of helping to absorb extra oil on my face.

Good for oily skin/not overly drying!
Love this!! My skin actually feels a lot less oily during the day and it doesn’t dry my skin out either. The smell is a tiny bit weird but it doesn’t really bother me and it dissipates quickly after applying.
