Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Hornsby or Schoendienst? Hernandez or McGwire? Herzog or LaRussa? Musial or...well, at least there's one no-brainer in the bunch - although even that one's not as easy as you might think. Rather the five greatest Cardinals at every position, including manager, is no small task, considering there are 37 onetime Cardinals in Cooperstown. And it's a task that only those with the strongest emotional connections to the organization should even consider tackling in earnest. Longtime Cardinals catcher and national television analyst Tim McCarver had done just that, and admittdely had to make some difficult decisions. His finished product is a delightful and insightful look at one of the most successful and beloved franchises in all of sports, and it's sure to open up some fresh new debates inside the Cardinal Nation and beyond.

Rated by buyers -
This is a fine little book that provides thumbnail sketches of the greatest players, by position, for one of the greatest baseball franchises in the country. It has only one flaw, but it is a glaring one. In the section on catchers, Tim McCarver, who is probably the greatest Cardinal catcher of all time, does not list himself. Instead he chooses Hal Smith, an eminently forgetable player with the mediocre Cardinals teams of the 1950s, who could not hit his way out of a paper bag but supposedly did a great job with Cardinal pitchers. With McCarver behind the plate for much of the '60s, the Cardinals won three Pennants and two World Series. After he and Curt Flood were traded for Richie Allen, the team spent the '70s going nowhere. C'mon Tim, take the bow you deserve!
