Spirit Drives Cardinals Late 1930s Style Chase for Pennant
In a frank view of the 1940 season race, a veteran observer praises the St Louis Cardinals for their enduring spirit, recalling 1934 and 1942 triumphs. He contrasts this with the Red Sox, noting Williams leads batters while Doerr and DiMaggio slump, and argues Boston lacks team unity to climb from a poor start. The piece also critiques White Sox and Browns while touting Cardinals as the model of resilience.
