## Resource

With Allen (@amedlock1) still involved with the Rangers, Daniel (@C70) talks it over with blogger and author Rich Bray (@remembirds). While they eventually tackle the current team, the two spend most of their time talking Cardinal history as set out in Rich's Book, The Trades That Made The St. Louis Cardinals. From Rogers Hornsby to Colby Rasmus, the two talk about some of the biggest deals in the history of the Redbirds. Why was the Mark McGwire deal such a big deal? How would we remember that 2011 trade if it wasn't for the miracle comeback? Why are there no 2020s trades in the book? Plenty of great stuff for those that love the deep history of the Cardinals!
