“The Cardinals Way” with Howard Megdal

CardinalsWayHow one team embraced tradition and Moneyball at the same time…

The St. Louis Cardinals have experienced the kind of success that is rare in baseball. They not only win, but do so with an apparently bottomless pool of talent, one that is mostly homegrown.

“The Cardinal Way”a term that has come to represent many things to fans, media, and other organizations, from an ironclad code of conduct to the team’s cutting-edge use of statistics and analytics, and a farm system that has transformed baseball.

In the spirit of “Moneyball,” baseball journalist Howard Megdal takes fans behind the scenes and off the field. Megdal reveals how the players are assessed and groomed using an unrivaled player development system. He tells an in-depth, fascinating story about a consistently good franchise, the business of sports in the 21st century, and a team that has learned how to level the playing field, turning in season after successful season.

Join us in the Clubhouse on Thursday, March 3. RSVP required to attend.

Autographed and personalized copies of “The Cardinals Way” will be available for purchase. The author will sign only books purchased in the Clubhouse.

Howard Megdal has written for “Capital New York,” “Sports Illustrated,” “The New York Times,” and “USA Today,” among others. His prior books include “The Baseball Talmud” and “Wilpon’s Folly.”
