The high rate of B{anti B} production at the Tevatron makes it a unique place for the study of B production and decay. Although e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} colliders provide a cleaner environment than hadron colliders for the study of B decays, CDF has shown that exclusive B channels can be successfully reconstructed in a harsh environment. Their data have been taken in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV with the CDF detector during the 1988--89 and the 1992--93 collider runs. The CDF detector has been upgraded before the start of the 1992--93 run. The authors have collected {approximately}21 pb{sup {minus}1} of data with this upgraded detector during the 1992--93 run. During the 1988--89 collider run CDF has shown that once can study quarkonia physics and b physics even in a harsh p{anti p} collider environment. The data collected with the upgraded CDF detector during the 1992--93 run are leading them to a rich program which focuses on the production and decay of quarkonia and b-quarks, and which will answer many of the questions posed during the 1988--89 collider run. Results from both runs are concluded.
