St. Louis Cardinals IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Volume II) [Kindle Edition]

St. Louis trailed Milwaukee by ten games in the NL Central on August 25, 2011, and even more discouraging was the 10.5 game deficit to Atlanta that the Cardinals faced in the Wild Card chase. That frustration was completely erased on September 29, however, as the Cardinals completed one of the greatest comebacks in history to make the postseason. It took a lot of help from a Braves team that lost 20 of its final 31 games, but the Cardinals did their part, winning 23 of 32 to close out the regular season and claim the Wild Card berth on the season’s final day.

But the fun was just starting for this club.

The Phillies and the Brewers were expected to meet in the NLCS, but the Cardinals spoiled their postseason plans as well, knocking off the Phillies first, and then taking care of the Brewers in the NLCS to claim the pennant and set up a seven-game showdown with the Texas Rangers in the 2011 World Series.

The drama of the 2011 season unfolded against the backdrop of Albert Pujols’ looming free agency and an uncharacteristic slow start offensively for arguably the greatest player of his generation — but when a fractured left forearm threatened to sideline the three-time MVP in late June for up to six weeks, Pujols demonstrated the tenacity and intense desire to win that come October would define this Cardinals team … and he returned to the field after only two weeks.

No wonder this team was down to it’s final strike in consecutive innings in Game 6 of the World Series, with the season, hopes, and dreams of its fans all hanging in the balance, and somehow still prevailed.

This second volume of Cardinals history and trivia from author Larry Underwood and Black Mesa Publishing is a tribute not only to the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals, but to the many legends and heroes who’s exploits on the field of play have made this organization one of the most respected and accomplished in professional sports.

* NEW BOOK BLURB from St. Louis’ own, bestselling author, A.E. Hotchner, pertaining to the chapter that includes an anecdote about him: “Doris Day, A.E. Hotchner, and Me” …..”Charming!” Jan. 2014

Although Becky Lewellen Povich loved books from a very young age, she never considered being an author until later in life.

At 48 years old, she received a phone call that her estranged father was close to death. Her emotions were surprising and overwhelming, and after returning from a visit to be with him, she sat down and words just flowed from her fingertips onto the keyboard. The story she wrote that day was accepted by a local newspaper and gained her a spot as a guest Opinion Shaper columnist. At almost 50 years old, a writer was born!

Each chapter of her memoir is a scene from everyday life and/or unexpected events written in the way only Povich can, with humor and poignancy woven into them, relating tales of both joys and sorrows.

Becky has stories published in a few anthologies,including Chicken Soup for the Soul, Thin Threads, and Patchwork Path; and also newspapers and small magazines. “From Pigtails to Chin Hairs: A Memoir & More” is her first book. She is currently writing the sequel because she has many more stories to share. It is due out in 2015.
