The Boys of Zimmer: The Story of the 1989 Chicago Cubs (1989)

Directed by Mike Kostel

Overview

The 1989 Chicago Cubs were not exactly the favorites to win the National League East championship. Fourth place finishers the season before, there seemed little hope beyond that for ‘89. But something magical and wonderful happened in 1989: Don Zimmer’s team believed in itself and started winning. With a combination of youth and experience, coupled with a daring style of play, they simply went out and beat the favorites.  This is the story of that team, and how they caught the imagination of Chicago and the country and became known as “THE BOYS OF ZIMMER.”
