I would’ve died of natural causes before guessing Iorg. I watched all the games intently, but just would’ve never remembered him doing that. As for the 20-game winners, I went with Dobson because I didn’t think any of the others were ever in the Cards org (1964 was before I knew MLB existed). Dobson I couldn’t remember, so I was pretty sure I was right! Learned something.
Now Edman & Noot walk to load the bases with one out in the 7th. Carlson singled to get it started. Maybe ……. ?
Who knows what’s going to happen. After winning 17 in a row last year maybe we are going to lose 17 in a row this year.
UPDATE: WAIT??? Donovan a grand dinger and we lead 5-3???
Oh well, it’s not over yet. I am getting ready to watch the Brewers soundly thrash the Reds.
EuroDandy…I also was stumped one time by the Cuellar question. A little before my time in ’64, but I had numerous trading cards of Cuellar in the late 60’s and early 70’s, so I was a little frustrated at not knowing that one…Haha! I answered the Iorg one correctly one time, but needed the ’85 hint. That Iorg era was also in my mid to late 20’s heyday prime…Haha!
Here is a simple trivia question for everyone. Who is the only person to ever hit a ball out of the old Busch Stadium? Should be easy.
The big reason I knew Cuellar was a Cardinal was because I was doing research for the all-time Cardinals draft last year. I was surprised by him being a Cardinal. Always liked the 4 20-game winners for the Orioles
That sequence with Donovans Blam Slam was classic. Relief pitcher 3 straight balls. Donovan takes 4 th pitch center zone strike. Pitcher trys it again and Donovans got the green light. Bye-bye birdie! Love it!
Haha!…Easy…Mike Laga. Couldn’t straighten it out though. I know Dick Allen came close to a HR hit out one time, and I saw Schmidt pull a HR down the LF line that landed not too far below the pre-formed concrete arches of the stadium.
Euro, 25 selected Cuellar. I had to look at the playoffs thread to see who might have drafted him.
Ratsbuddy…Haha! I’m happy to see that you still think the Redbirds have a chance! You had me worried for a while…You think it’s okay for me to order any post-season tickets, or should I wait?
Anybody surprnised it’s Helsley in the 8th? And just as I typed that MM hit a HR. Score now 5-4.
I guess Marmol is thinking with the Pads heart of the order coming up, this is the high leverage inning. And maybe the plan is for Helsley to go 2 innings.
Who stole home in ’82?…Just funnin, but true story. Don’t know if they still let you, but at one time anyone could walk in during extras. I was riding around in the downtown area in the summer of ’82 listening to the Redbird/Giants game on the truck radio. Drove past Busch Memorial and snagged a lucky parking spot. Walked right in and sat down. Brummer steals home for the win.
