The third edition of Cardinal Nation was worth the wait because it includes the final season at Busch II, a sad moment for many but a beginning of an entire new era in St. Louis baseball. This book holds many amazing pictures and little bits and pieces of unknown Cardinals history, Cardinal greats like Stan "The Man" Musial and Ozzie "The Wizzard of Oz" Smith and Jack Buck are just a few mentioned in this book. A great read for Cardinal fans all around the world who haven't been to a ballgame in St. Louis like me, it just brings everything a lot closer because you almost can smell the hotdog's and hear the crowds roar.

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 colour photography to capture the reader's imagination -- completely overlooking the artistic beauty of much of the grey 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!

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.
