This history of the St. Louis Cardinals isn't just about Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, and Albert Pujols. It's also about players you've forgotten...
-and their stories deserve to be remembered.
A unique, hilarious, thoughtful, and quick look at the history of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team franchise. Author Will Saulsbery takes you on a journey from 1882 until today by way of some of the lesser known and forgotten baseball players in the history of the Cardinals. From names like Ice Box Chamberlain, Slim Sallee, and Rip Repulski to more recent names like Félix José, Ozzie Canseco, and Ryan Ludwick, Saulsbery ignores no decade and he walks you through baseball history.
Lifelong Cardinals fans, baseball history enthusiasts, fans of sports stories, and readers who love a nostalgic tale of sports history will absolutely love this book. Unlike traditional baseball books that focus on Hall of Famers, this book delivers in-depth looks at some players that have slipped through the cracks of history-yet helped build one of baseball's greatest franchises.
If you love the Cardinals, baseball, or just sports history this is a journey into the stories you didn't know you were missing. A perfect gift for the baseball lover in your life.
