So Joshua Baez three homeruns ranks in there somewhere. Make this fun, not a debate. The last piece of awesomeness I recall is AP’S 699th AND 700th hr on September 22 2022. Go.
Here’s an example of how this games played. This is in honor of esteemed poster One Tough Dominican. I was at this game. It was definitely Cardinals Awesomeness!
“Three factors combined to make the last home run of Joaquin Andujar’s career both special and unconventional: It was a grand slam, he called the shot and the Cardinals pitcher, a right-hander, hit it left-handed.”
For me that and Jordan Walker’s derby exploits are the highlights of the season.
The Pujols 700th was incredible. Probably the all timer for me has been the Freese exploits in game six 2011.
Wrigley has seen some moments. Some on here have dissed it, but when I was there it was kind of surreal to watch and think that you are looking at the same spot where the Babe “called his shot”, and all those great players stood like The Rajah, Stan’s 3000th, Albert cracking three, Hank and Willie, Ernie, etc.
Wainwright and Molina getting the record for number of starts as battery mates was a fun honor for both.
And of course Coleman setting the Rookie record mark for steals was incredible.
Oquendo playing every position in a season!
Not a record, but I had a lot of fun watching both Albert and Yadi each take a turn at pitching. And watching Pages play 2B, was hilarious.
1. David Feese game six 2011 World Series. Left for dead only to rise again and again.
2. Ozzie Smith go crazy folks.
3. Jack Clark game six LA. The “SOB” smoked it.
4. Pujols homer in Houston. That damn thing still hasn’t landed.
5. Willie McGee two homer game in Milwaukee.
6. Chris Carpenter beating Philadelphia and Roy Holliday in a pitching duel for the ages.
7 and 7a. Terry Pendleton’s clutch ninth-inning, two-run blast on September 11, 1987, at Shea Stadium, and Tommy Herr’s iconic 10th-inning walk-off grand slam on April 18, 1987, known as “Seat Cushion Night”.
8. Yadi’s homerun against the Mets game 7 2006.
9. Pujols three homeruns in game three 2011 World Series against the Rangers.
10. Baez three homerun MLB debut.
11. Mark Whiten against the Reds. Whiten hit 4 home runs and drove in 12 RBIs, leading the Cardinals to a 15–2 victory. He tied the all-time MLB single-game RBI record previously set by fellow Cardinals player Jim Bottomley in 1924.
12. Jim Edmonds walkoff homerun to win game six NLCS and force game seven.
13. Adam Wainwright Freezes Carlos Beltrán to end the 2006 NLCS Game 7.
14. Lou Brock sets stole base record.
15. Bob Gibson’s record-shattering 17-strikeout game in the 1968 World Series.
16. Bob Forsch (1978 & 1983): The only pitcher in franchise history to throw two no-hitters for St. Louis, blanking the Philadelphia Phillies on April 16, 1978, and the Montreal Expos on September 26, 1983.
I could go on and on.
