Summary: Good Book, Two Much McGwire
Comment: Mark McGwire was the contemporary Cardinal everyone loves. But he is a small blip on the wonderful sports history that is the Cardinals. If McGwire is worth 11 pages, Musial, Gibson, Medwick, Dean and Hornsby are worth hundreds.
More needed to be said of Curt Flood and the ground-breaking efforts to free players from the reserve clause. As it is, Flood receives barely a mention. Dizzy Dean is a far more prominent figure in Cardinal history than the book suggests.
What I suspect has happened is that the book relies on the vivid warmth of color photography to capture the reader's imagination -- completely overlooking the artistic beauty of much of the black and white photography of earlier eras. While the book is interesting, it is far from the definitive history of the Cardinals.
It also is too bad that the publishers decided to focus on one unfortunate brawl between the Cardinals and Cubs or McGwire/Sosa as the penultimate moment in this rivalry. There's so much more here too!

Summary: A must have for Cards fans
Comment: A great book full of photographs stories from the history of the team. It contains pictures and short descriptions of the different stadiums the team has called home, the 10 greatest moments, the 10 greatest performances, of all the WS the team has played in so far and much more.
