Good, not great
Nice overview of the championship seasons for the Cardinals, but not super in-depth. One example is the exciting 1967 season that was given all of nine pages once you take out the box scores. Nine pages? Two pages to summarize the season, leaving roughly the reader with one page per game to recap a thrilling seven game series. I understand that this is about the Cards so going into detail on the opposition isn't part of the book's direction. That means all the excitement surrounding the Red Sox's charge is not covered at all. Still, there's more to the story but it's not found in this book.
You'll like the book if you're a Cards fan and your expectations aren't too high.
