On This Date In Cardinals History: December 11, 1941

We all know that Mark McGwire broke Major League Baseball's single season homer record in 1998, a standard that had stood since 1961.

But that season he also -- much earlier in the year, of course -- shattered the Cardinals' single season mark which had stood much longer. The Big Cat, Johnny Mize, cranked 43 over the boards during the 1940 season to set the high water mark.
