"This book turned the wackos on the 1934 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals into a lovable bunch of guys. Even though it could get boring in its descriptions of the action in World Series games, the book provided an inside look on why this team was so weird and how on Earth they won it all."
"Baseball before the 1980's was a much more interesting sport because the baseball players were larger than life due to their personalities and not steroids. I love reading about Dizzy Dean, Leo Durocher and all the other characters that made up the Gashouse Gang. This book was a little long winded in the play by play of the actual 1934 World Series but the author did convey his love of these players."
