Spirit of past Cardinals era drives 1948 club outlook
The piece traces the 1948 Cardinals spirit echoing the Gas House Gang of 1934 and recalls Eddie Dyer's praise for a team that refused to quit after early injuries. It contrasts this with the Red Sox woes, Williams’ hot bat not lifting teammates, and McCarthy’s brood over a bleak start as Boston fights for first division.
