`  == Allegations of racism ==  The alleged planned boycott against Jackie Robinson is vigorously denied by the interviewees in ``The Spirit of St. Louis: A History Of The St. Louis Cardinals And Browns`` by Peter Golenbock.  I am noting this very briefly.  As a baseball team in a former slave state, and having the reputation of being full of hillbillies (see:  Dizzy Dean, Enos ``Country`` Slaughter, etc.), it was going to be easy for people to convince themselves that the Cards would react badly to Jackie Robinson whether or not there was any further evidence of such.`
