Description: For the early 1890s through the 2004 World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals have sculpted one of baseball’s glorious legacies, second only to the New York Yankees in number of world championships. The spit’n’scratch Cardinals of 1926; the spirited Redbirds of the 1930s Gashouse Gang; the World War II Cards of ‘42—one of the greatest teams in major league history; the power pitching of Bob Gibson with the 1960s teams; Whitey Herzog’s “small ball” of the eighties—all define and uphold the unique character, timeless tradition, and triumph of St. Louis Cardinals baseball at its best.
Cardinals Glory recounts the great players, teams, magical moments, riveting rivalries, and memorable venues, plus a special tribute to “Mr. Cardinal”—Stan Musial, the all-time Cardinals team, the rosters of all nine world championship Cardinals teams, and more, as told by Cardinals players, managers, coaches, fans, and the media. |
