Description
Winner of the Nelson Ross Award for "Outstanding Recent Achievement in Pro Football Research and Historiography," awarded by the Professional Football Researchers Association, the original 1999 edition of this book was also recognized in publications such as Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune.
This second edition includes updates on former Chicago Cardinals players, team history, archival photos, and recently discovered scores from the historic past of the NFL's oldest team, as well as an expansive index and resource guide. This illustrious work of pro football history explores how the Cardinals and their loyal fans experienced countless on-field brawls, financial discouragements, losses in war, and a couple of NFL championships. Names like Red Grange, Paddy Driscoll, Duke Slater, Al Capone, and more dot the colorful history of the team now known as the Arizona Cardinals.
