Chicago Cardinals – Joe Ziemba Interview (Part 1)

Chicago Cardinals - Joe Ziemba Interview (Part 1) Tweet

This episode we fire up the DeLorean and head back to October 15, 1899, the first game in Arizona Cardinals history. Wait a tick. That doesn't sound right, does it? Well, the thing is, the Arizona Cardinals are the oldest franchise in the NFL. However, they were previously the St. Louis Cardinals, and before that, they were the Chicago Cardinals. Going even further back, they were the Racine Cardinals. Let's just say there's a long history concerning the oldest franchise in the NFL, and this episode takes us back to the beginning in Chicago with a guest riding shotgun with us. Joe Ziemba is our guest, and he is one of the world's most knowledgeable people about the early history of the Chicago Cardinals. This first part of the interview takes from the beginning of the Cardinals through the beginning of World War II.

Here you can find the dedicated Joe Ziemba page.

Joe has spent many years learning about the history of the Arizona/St. Louis/Chicago/Racine Cardinals (oh, so many names). The thing that sparked his interest was finding out his dad was drafted by the Cardinals back in the 40s, but the crazy thing is he never found out about this until his father passed away. This led to him ultimately writing 2 books, When Football Was Football: The Chicago Cardinals and the Birth of the NFL and Cadets, Canons, and Legends: The Football History of Morgan Park Military Academy.
