Описание:

1942: Americans suddenly found themselves at war but were not about to be distracted from the National Pastime. With only one player older than thirty, the St. Louis Cardinals were the youngest and fastest team to win the National League pennant and World Series. The team featured rookie Stan Musial, future Hall-of-Famer Enos Slaughter, and ace pitcher Mort Cooper, the National League s Most Valuable Player of 1942. With their winningest season ever, posting 106 victories, the 1942 Redbirds have been called the greatest Cardinal team of all time. Mileur provides a game-by-game account of the season with play-by-play action.
