Jason Cannon
a writer intrigued by the underexplored
Welcome to my website! I hope you enjoy a variety of interesting historical material, primarily focused these days on Charlie Murphy, who won four pennants and two World Series championships in his eight full seasons as owner of the Chicago Cubs. You will also see some new material featuring my latest project: a dual biography of Hall of Fame superstars Billy Williams and Willie McCovey. I look forward to hearing from you.
