The Best of Seasons: The 1944 St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns

Rating:
Summary: What About the Browns?
Review: No, not the Cleveland Browns of the NFL, but the St. Louis Browns. With the Cardinals still playing ball in St. Louis, the storied if sometimes depressing history of the Browns is so often forgotten. In this title we get a glimpse of the 1944 season, when two neighboring teams that did not play in New York faced off for Baseball's ultimate prize. Of course, World War II had created manpower shortages among the better teams that allowed the lowly Browns to win their first and last pennant, but that is immaterial. Those who were unfortunate enough to call themselves Browns' fans got one season to remember before their team left for greener pastures in Baltimore, MD. If you can get a hold of this title, you can marvel at the Midwestern version of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
