"Hello there everybody, this is Mel Allen. Hey, baseball is a thriller, the sequined star of the 80s!" ~ Classic opening to "This Week In Baseball" (May 1984) #TWIB #MLB #Baseball #History #SaturdayMorning

Recency bias always makes the current moment seem like the best (or worst) thing ever. But at the very least, this is the most fun the Cardinals have been since The Streak. #STLCards

Random 80s at bat (Dickie Nokes vs Juan Beniquez in 1987...we pick it up mid at bat, bases loaded, no outs, 9th inning, Jays down by 2).

Riley O'Brien said he prepares for every 9th inning like he's going to be out there: "We come back late a lot, so I'm always just kind of staying ready. Almost kind of expecting us to come back." @MatrixMidwest | #stlcards

My almost 4-year old (big baseball fan) just said “we need the bulldogs to win today, 5-4.” I think 15-14 might be more accurate, but it’d be poetic to have a pitching dual game 3 after shootouts the first 2. Doesn’t matter. 1-0 today! Win!!

Mason Miller’s slider should come with a warning label.

POZO WALKOFF AND THE CROWD GOES WILD

Kevin Milewski is listed as a game time decision as is Andrew Raymond. As the Bulldogs take the field for BP, Raymond is in the cage. Milewski is in the dugout.

It could be worse people

#OTD 1999 - Former Cardinals player and current broadcaster Mark Sweeney must wonder what you have to do, as the Cincinnati Reds sends him to the minors. @Sweendog9 is hitting .357 with an .857 slugging percentage and a .471 OBP. #STLCards

Jordan Walker had a .306 Slg % last year. He has a .606 Slg % this year. Walker would have to go hitless in his next 162 at-bats to get his Slg % down to .306 this season He's definitely a VERY different player 💪

Oli Marmol, before taking a question, opened his post game at the podium by saying that whatever he has to do to get those guys who started the party out in the right field stands to every game, he's ready to make that happen He was very complimentary of the atmosphere created by Caridnals fans tonight

#OTD 1913 - Alfredo "Bird" Cabrera, born in the Canary Islands, becomes the first person from Spain to appear in the majors. The 32-year-old Cardinal shortstop plays in only one big-league game, going 0-for-2 in a 6-5 loss to the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. #STLCards
