It's not quite like the 72 Dolphins, but every year, the Medwick family pays attention to see if someone — anyone — will break grandpa's record. Christian Yelich came close. But no NL player has won the Triple Crown since 1937 – Joe Medwick of #STLCards https://t.co/O8siGcWUcH

If you love history, you have to watch this.

Whoa, Mick and Stan in the same video! The youthful Mick really looks powerful on that swing. The veteran Stan has a more smooth stroke.
This reminds me of some early scenes in the movie “Strategic Air Command”, starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson. Great movie for classic film buffs. Stewart plays an aging Cardinal third baseman who is called back into the service. Early scenes are filmed at Al Lang Field. The casting is questionable as it is a stretch to think that Stewart could still be playing ball, as he was in his late 40s when the film was made. But it is still a great movie and looking at Al Field field and what I believe are the “real” Cardinals in the background is fun.

Wow – Hall of Famers Gibson and Cepeda in that video, along with Cardinal Hall of Famer and part-time broadcaster McCarver. Is that Yogi Berra coaching first base?
I missed Yogi the first time. He is at the very end of the clip. I looked it up and was surprised that he coached first base for the Mets for six seasons – 1966-1971. Then he was manager for the next three-plus.
Me, too!
I am really disappointed that Keith Hernandez has not yet been voted by fans into the Cardinals Hall of Fame.
What a table of HOF’ers and Gold Glover’s in NYC for tonight’s Rawlings GG Awards Dinner. I’m presenting the awards to this years’ 1st base winners. And I’m getting inducted into the Rawlings’ Gold Glove HOF. Very nice. Great honor. How about this table of great fielders! pic.twitter.com/cOA8aQyA4p

Should this be Mort Cooper’s year?
With one player from Veterans Era entering #stlcards HOF annually, both Coopers – Mort and Walker – receive consideration each year. Their time will come, but hard to dispute the selections before them – Curt Flood, Marty Marion, Pepper Martin, Ducky Medwick, Moore and Brecheen.

Flood and Brock at the plate.
Also, St Louis native Ron Hunt singles with the bunt. It would’ve been more fitting if they had shown him taking one in the shoulder. Hunt finished out his last few career games as a Cardinal.
I missed this one the first time.
Trivia: Though he is wearing no. 5 here, Harry the Hat wore no. 6 in #stlcards spring training 1942, just before a kid outfielder named Stan Musial reclaimed it for his own. https://t.co/K5teWv9Qh6 https://t.co/K3wv6SezLD
