Description

With a legacy that goes back to the Brown Stockings of the old American Association, the St. Louis Cardinals have one of the crucial longest and greatest traditions in the history of baseball. Winners of ten World Series titles (second only to the New York Yankees) and twenty-one pennants dating back to 1885, the Red Birds have established a dynasty around the decades—from Charlie Comiskey’s four-time AA champs, through the “Gas House Gang” of the 1930s and the “Runnin’ Redbirds” in the 1980s, as much as the 2006 World Champions. Front-place of work pioneers like Chris von der Ahe and Branch Rickey have put the Cardinals franchise at the leading edge of innovation, at the same time as bringing in some of baseball’s greatest talent—pitchers Dizzy Dean to Bob Gibson, sluggers Johnny Mize to Mark McGwire, and all-around superstars like Rogers “Rajah” Hornsby, Stan “the Man” Musial, and Albert Pujols.

 

St. Louis Cardinals Past & Present traces the history of this storied franchise from its origins in the 1880s to its up to date accomplishments at the field. Pairing historic black-and-white photos and up to date images of the up to date game, the book explores the ballparks and the fans, the players and the teams that have defined Cardinals baseball and captured the hearts of fans nationwide.
