By 1964 the storied St. Louis Cardinals had gone seventeen years without so much as a pennant. Drama and Pride in the Gateway City commemorates the team that Bing Devine built, the 1964 team that prevailed in one of the tightest three-way pennant races of all time and then went on to win the World Series, beating the New York Yankees in the full seven games.

Of all the New York Yankees championship teams, the 1947 club seemed the least likely. Bridging Two Dynasties commemorates this historic club - the players, on the field and off, and the events surrounding their remarkable season. Along with player biographies, the book features a seasonal timeline and covers pertinent topics such as the winning streak, and the thrilling World Series.
