Description: "Led by the colorful Dizzy Dean, the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals personified Depression-era America. And perhaps no team before or since found so many ways to will themselves to victory or took such pleasure in willing their foes to defeat." "This book presents the legendary exploits of player manager Frankie Frisch, Leo Durocher, the Dean Brothers and the rest of the team that threw dirt at umpires, lofted insults at opposing fans, and hurled themselves at opposing teams."--Jacket.
