Book Review: Brings Back Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a long time Cardinals fan and this book brought back many memories of the games I used to listen to broadcast by Harry Caray and Jack Buck back in the 60's. It was full of information about interesting games, obscure statistics, and I found the details of how baseball was played in the old days very entertaining as well. For example, train schedules dictated that some games had to end early by prior agreement between both teams so they could leave town; overflow crowds were seated on the outfield with a rope stretched across as a temporary fence that kept getting shorter as the crowds kept coming; players for one of the teams umpiring the game when the lone regular umpire was sick or injured; the large number of regularly scheduled doubleheaders compared to the almost none we have today; and other interesting bits of information. I also liked the way the author tied in historical events that helped place baseball headlines into the context of what else was happening in the national and world news headlines of that day.
The only complaint I have is the too frequent inclusion of careless errors. For example, I doubt the Cardinals ever beat the Reds in Chicago; there are occasional reference to a pitcher getting a "shutout" win in a game the team won by a score like 5-1; and other miscellaneous typos like former reliever Sal Campisi referred to as Sam Campisi. These errors are a distraction, but the wealth of information about this great baseball team is a gold mine for any Cardinals fan and probably for any baseball fan.
