Cardinals Collection: 100 Years of St. Louis Cardinal Images

Cardinals Collection: 100 Years of St. Louis Cardinal Images by Stang, Mark. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781882203857.

Over 220 Black and White photographs span 100 years of baseball history in this stunning new collection of Cardinals images. From the days of Dizzy Dean and Johnny Mize to Bob Gibson and Ozzie Smith, the famous and forgotten fill these pages and recall the glory of St. Louis Cardinals baseball. Culled from 15 public and private photo archives, this collection includes dozens of previously unpublished images. Many of the older photographs were locked away in dusty files for decades until appearing here for the first time. Printers marks were removed and the detail in the photos was revealed through careful restoration. These photographs record the changing face of baseball through the century by documenting the evolution of equipment, ballparks, uniforms and batting styles. Players, managers, owners and broadcasters--theyre all here, with captions that bring their stories to life. From the glory days of the Gas House Gang to the agony of 1985. From Medwick to Musial to McGwire and everyone in between.
