St. Louis Cardinals Get World Series Book Tomorrow

By Dianna Dilworth 

Triumph Books has rushed a $14.95 book about the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series this year. Wild Cards: The St. Louis Cardinals Stunning 2011 Championship Season will be published tomorrow, just days after the tournament ended.

Author Rob Rains, a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America and the Baseball Hall of Fame, wrote the 128-page book about how the team came from behind to win the series.

Here is more from the release: “While the 2011 World Series capped arguably the most exciting season in team history, injuries, off-field distractions, and poor play contributed to a lackluster start; by mid-August the Cardinals looked dead in the water.  Then, an influx of new talent and rejuvenated stars – along with rally squirrels, happy flights, and an irrepressible never-say-die attitude – propelled St. Louis into the playoffs, where they defeated the favored Phillies and Brewers.”
