SUMMARY

No American sport matches baseball for the richness of its history, and few baseball teams have a history as interesting or glorious as that of the St. Louis Cardinals. With 17 pennants and 10 World Series titles, the club that plays in the shadow of the Gateway Arch is the most successful National League franchise ever. Its fan base, spreading for hundreds of miles in all directions from its Mississippi River hub, is unmatched for its size and diversity. In its annals are a who's who of baseball immortals, including Cy Young, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Dizzy Dean, Stan "the Man" Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, and Ozzie Smith. Best for Cards fans is the fact that the team's current edition is every bit the equal of the great past clubs, as attested by its 2006 World Championship. With the likes of Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, and Chris Carpenter in the fold, St. Louis can look ahead to many more years of title contention. For the Love of the Cardinals captures the special quality that's made the team successful and unique. It celebrates more than a century of Card triumphs with A-through-Z verses accompanied by Frederick C. Klein's text and the spot-on-drawings of Mark Anderson, one of the nation's top caricaturists. It's a trip down memory lane for Cards fans and a wonderful way for them to pass along their passion to their children or grandchildren.Smith, Ozzie is the author of 'For the Love of the Cardinals An A-to-z Primer for Cardinals Fans of All Ages', published 2007 under ISBN 9781600780196 and ISBN 1600780199.
