SAINT LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Baseball fans and historians alike will soon have a new must-read addition to their collection with the release of 50 Forgotten Cardinals, a compelling new book that shines a spotlight on overlooked players who helped shape one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises.

Published by Ashtonbery Press, 50 Forgotten Cardinals uncovers the stories of players whose contributions to the St. Louis Cardinals have faded from mainstream memory—but remain essential to the rich fabric of the team’s history. Through engaging storytelling and meticulous research, the book revisits forgotten careers, pivotal moments, and the lasting impact of these under-appreciated athletes.

Adding to the book’s credibility and appeal, Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa contributes a powerful foreword, offering his unique perspective on the importance of honoring the game’s unsung figures. The book also features praise from legendary broadcaster Bob Costas and longtime Cardinals voice Dan McLaughlin, further cementing its place as a meaningful tribute to baseball history.
