1928 Block Brothers PC - Cardinals Team

The Cardinals were established in the 1800s. They are an old team. They were not good for most of their early years. But in the 1920s they began to put together a formidable crew. And in 1926 they defeated the vaunted Yankees to win the World Series crown.

This is a postcard of a team portrait. Pictured are several future HOFers - Rabbit Maranville, Jesse Haines, Pete Alexander, Frankie Frisch, Chick Hafey, and Sunny Jim Bottomley. Gas House Gang great, Pepper Martin makes his first appearance here as well.
