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.

Better Than You Remembered: Darrell Porter

The first baseball team I ever loved was the 1982 St. Louis Cardinals. I was six years old, and my father took me to Busch Stadium -- a two-hour drive from Illinois -- on the back of his motorcycle, with neither of us wearing helmets and with my “seat belt” being me holding onto the back of his jacket the whole ride. Ozzie Smith did a backflip and Willie McGee hit a triple, and I was hooked for life.

Q&A: Ozzie Smith On Defensive Excellence

Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith is arguably the greatest defensive shortstop of all-time. Known as ‘The Wizard’ for his ability to make impossible plays, Smith played 19 seasons with the Padres and Cardinals, winning a record 13 Gold Gloves, and a World Series with the Cardinals in 1982. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002. He talked to Mark Simon last November.

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.
