Summary: I-55 Series: Not as captivating as the game, but a good read
Review: As a life-long Cardinal fan, I have experienced the joy and pain of the Cardinals-Cubs series. When I found this book, I snatched it right up. The book is woven with the stories of the players and all involved with the rivalry. Stories of some of the greatest games between the teams, the players who have seen both sides of the match-ups, and individual heroics bring the baseball and human side to life. If you are looking for heavy lore on the game, this book is not for you. But if you are looking for a book that brings some of the finer points of the rivalry out, and allows you to hear from some of the participants, this may be right. I found myself reading along with no concept of time or page numbers. My main criticism of this book is there were some factual errors found and several misspellings or typos. They seemed to stand out as ones that should have been caught, but somehow, were not.
