The 1926 Cardinals are one of the best teams of the era. Led by a bevy of Hall of Famers, they were one of only a handful of clubs that could lay claim to besting the Bronx Bombers! They dominated the National League and took the World Series from Babe Ruth and his crew in a surprising and dramatic result. This is the entire team in uniform posed after taking the National League pennant and shortly before taking on the Yankees. Led by Rogers Hornsby and Grover Cleveland Alexander, the team also boasted Chick Hafey, Jim Bottomley, Billy Southworth, Jesse Haines and other stars as well. This is a c. 1950 restrike making it still a 75 year old example, issued by the Sporting News (based in St. Louis). Condition is not bad but it does have pinholes at the corners and a small rip on the bottom border.
