The city of St. Louis has been known for many things in its history. Many associate the city with its famous arch, the gateway to the West. Others think of the Anheuser-Busch brewing company. However, ask anyone who lives there what the city is known for and they’ll all agree: Baseball Heaven.
In The St. Louis Cardinals Fans’ Bucket List (Triumph Books, May 2016), veteran sportswriter Dan O’Neill explores every corner of Baseball Heaven, uncovering everything St. Louis baseball fans need to see and do to become the ultimate Cardinals supporter. With an easy to follow guide outlining the cost, difficulty and importance of each item, this detailed checklist makes a perfect reference for Cardinals fans of all stripes. Highlights include:
- A heartfelt foreword from Cardinals star pitcher and World Series champion Adam Wainwright
- Tips on how to make the most of a day at Busch Stadium, including advice on how to lure Fredbird, the team’s mascot, to put your head in his beak
- An inside look at the origin of Ozzie Smith’s trademark backflip
- Advice on how to watch the Red Birds take on their rival Chicago Cubs in enemy territory with a trip to historic Wrigley Field
The St. Louis Cardinals Fans’ Bucket List offers fans a chance to become more connected with the team they love. Both diehards and the new generation of fans alike will find value and entertainment in its pages. No Cardinals fan’s library is complete without this great new reference.
