Wizardry: Ozzie Smith's Top Ten Career Moments

When Ozzie Smith performed backflips while heading to his position before the start of Cardinals home openers, postseason contests and All-Star Games, it was as if he were saying, “Let the fun begin.”

Tommy Herr's Slam Brought Cardinals Out Of Their Seats & Their Seat Cushions Onto The Field

Not often does an April baseball game stand the test of time as one of the most significant events in team history, but those who were at Busch II on Saturday night, April 18, 1987, will not soon forget.

The Easter Weekend With Seat Cushion Night

Easter always takes me back to 1987. The Cardinals and the Mets were the best rivalry in baseball then, and early in the year, in the fourth series of the year, the Mets made their way to STL for the Easter weekend. It was a cool Saturday night, and Busch Stadium was packed for seat cushion night. The Cardinals had won the NL East in 1985 in a tense battle with the Mets, and New York and run away and hid in their championship season of 1986.

Another Favorite Moment

It POURED on the morning of October 14, 1985. Game five of the NLCS between the Cardinals and the Dodgers didn’t start until late afternoon, but in the morning, it was raining hard. I remember because I had to go downtown to work for something early, at about 9:00, and I got a flat tire. I had a 1984 red Honda CRX, a tiny little car, and somehow on 40 near McKnight my right front tire went flat. So, I pulled over, changed it, got soaked, and went on my merry way.

New Documentary On 1980's Cardinals Is As Fun As They Were

The first baseball team you follow as a kid, the first one you truly dedicate yourself to obsessing over every day for six months of the year, can set the tone for the rest of your baseball fandom moving forward. Baseball just means more to you when you’re a kid: Every pitch seems like the most important pitch ever thrown, every win is glorious, every loss is tragic, all the players are 15 feet tall. You can never quite recreate the rush of that first team you truly love, that first time you feel so connected to it, to its fans, to its ebbs and flows, to something larger than yourself. It sticks with you forever.

Only One Team In MLB History Hase Comeback From 0-2 In The NLCS: The Cardinals

Marcell Ozuna Will Have A Lot To Say About September

As they departed for D.C., the St. Louis veterans wore NFL jerseys to the plane, though no Cardinals wore Arizona Cardinals, or, mercifully, Rams. Curiously, Marcell Ozuna chose an Eagles Carson Wentz jersey, which was sort of fitting — a marquee player with something to prove, back from injury.
