A Massive Season

Sirk's Notebook Chronicles the 2008 Columbus Crew

Available at the Crew Gear Store starting Monday October 19, with a portion of the proceeds from store sales going to the Crew Soccer Foundation.

In 2008, after a dozen years that saw heartache give way to hopelessness, the Columbus Crew rose from the ashes and finally won their first MLS Cup. Steve Sirk was there all year, bumbling around in their presence, collecting the quotes, quips, and absurd observations that have made his Notebook column a must-read for diehard Crew fans.

"A Massive Season" is the ultimate championship season scrapbook!
