Journalist Benjamin Hochman has lived all over the country – and he explains how baseball in St. Louis is just different than any sport in any other city. With stories from his own childhood, tales from interviews with Cardinals players and interactions with famous St. Louis natives, Benjamin weaves a tale of family, fatherhood and fastballs.
