Living the Dream in MLB? Sometimes, not so much.

St. Louis Cardinals: Beyond the HOF- Saluting Unsung Heroes

Being a professional baseball player sounds like a glamourous occupation, right? Not so much in the early 60s, especially if you were playing in the minors. Nancy Warwick shares with us the struggles of managing a family amid trades, poor pay, and a husband who was absent half the time playing on the road. With husband Carl Warwick, a significant player on the 1964 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals, Nancy gives her unique perspective of a wife as she and Carl navigate the arduous journey from minor league play to baseball’s biggest stage. Their amusing stories include a bologna road trip from Chicago to Houston while toting two young daughters, one only a few months old. Take an engaging walk down memory lane to baseball as it was in the 1960s.

ALSO! Be a guest on our podcast! To be a part of a future episode, share with us an early memory of the St. Louis Cardinals. It could be about a game you watched on TV or in person or listened to on the radio. It could be about a game you attended. It might be about how the Cardinals were a bonding element between you and a grandparent. Additionally, you could tell us about your favorite unsung hero.

Email me with your memory and we’ll set up a time for us to have a brief phone conversation so that I can record your recollection and put it in an upcoming episode. I’d prefer to record your voice, but if you just want to only share it via email, that can work, too.
