In the book October 1964 that I am reading. The season has finally picked up and it is the start of the season that will become one of the biggest upsets in baseball at the time. The St. Louis Cardinals were just a scrappy young team with many up and coming players and a few big names. They were definately the underdogs in this series. On the other side was the New York Yankees which in fact are the best team in baseball. With all their powerhouse names, their filthy rich owner and baseball's best coaching staff. The Yankees were expected to win the World Series every year and were certainly this year. However so far in the book it has just started opening day and the season is just beginning. The book follows both paths of the Cardinals and the Yankees in every other chapter.
