Gideon Clarke is a man on a quest. He is out to prove to the world as his father tried before him that the world-champion Chicago Cubs traveled to Onamata Iowa in the summer of 1908 for an exhibition game against all-stars from the Iowa Baseball Confederacy an amateur league. The game which was to be short pleasant and the Cubs thought one-sided turned into a titanic battle of over two thousand innings played mostly in the pouring rain. This game is not on the record books. No one remembers it or the Confederacy. But Gideon Clarke knows it happened and he is determined to set the record straight.
