Coles A Cardinal Summer: A Classic Baseball Season during the Roaring Twenties America at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The two pennant winners in 1926, the National League's Cardinals and the American League's Yankees, were a study in contrasts. The Yankees were heavily composed of first- and second-generation Americans and based in New York, the epicenter of baseball; the Cardinals, on the other hand, were mostly a collection of farm boys playing at the western fringe of the major leagues. Both teams arrived battle-tested, as St. Louis had fought a long, close race with
Cincinnati and New York had survived a dramatic late-season run.
The story of the 1926 season is also a story that transcends baseball. It is a story that reflects the popular culture of America during the most roaring year in the Roaring Twenties. It was a baseball season flavored by colorful episodes, personalities and events that provide insights not only about baseball but also about life in America during the 1920s.
