Robert W. Cohen began writing professionally in 2004. His first published work, A Team for the Ages: Baseball's All-Time All-Star Team, clearly reflects his great love of the game of baseball and his vast knowledge of the sport. A sports historian, Cohen has appeared on numerous sports talk-radio programs around the nation to discuss his published works. He lives in Clifton, New Jersey.
This new book features distinguished players from the historically
most prominent National League team with 11 World Series victories
and 18 National League pennants. As Cohen notes, by the 1930s, "all
cities west of the Mississippi and south of the Mason-Dixon Line
broadcasted cardinals games over the radio," thereby "making the
redbirds 'America's Team' in many ways." . . .Written in a lively,
entertaining manner, this book belongs in most public and school
libraries. Cohen's choice of players and his rankings will generate
plenty of controversy among long-time Cardinals fans, but the book
will appeal to both old and new baseball fans of all ages who
admire brilliant individual player careers summarized in crisp
biographical sketches and statistics. Twenty black-and-white
photographs enhance the text.
