For the St. Louis Cardinals and their fans, there was a great deal
of uncertainty going into the 1985 season. Only three years before,
the Cards had won the World Series, but were predicted to finish
last in the National League East Division by every major
publication. Manager Whitey Herzog was expected to rebuild his
team, drug abuse had cast a lingering shadow over the game, and a
players strike threatened to halt play. The situation looked bleak
for St. Louis but the season turned out to be nothing like the
predictions. The Cards found themselves in a battle for the
pennant. From beginning to end, that magical season is chronicled
here. The book recaps the 1982 championship season and provides
background information on Whitey Herzog and Gussie Buschs building
of the early 1980s Cards, Busch Stadium and its characteristics
particular to base running, and players of the era, including Ozzie
Smith and Willie McGee and pitchers Bob Forsch and Joaquin Andujar.
It then goes in-depth to discuss the Cards 1985 spring training and
season and the World Series.
