i just wanna wish my team luck...they have there first game today again the dodgers...they can win if they play good but the pitchin is gonna be a huge factor cause the leading winner for them is out for the first series so GO CARDS!!!
YES, I saw Gibson pitch...in fact I got go to go to one of the world series games and see him pitch, it was either 67 or 68, don't remember for sure....it was a great experience as a kid....others on the team were greats like Kurt Flood, Lou Brock, Tim McCarver......and even Joe Tore the Yanks current Manager.....+ friction said:Now that is an old school Cards fan...hell, you probably saw Bob Gibson pitch, eh? If I saw him pitch, I was only about a year old
Were they still the Browns when you first saw them? And what/where was the park before Busch Stadium?
Wow, that pic almost looks like the minor league park here in Charleston. Very cool that you saw Gibson - he was one of my Dad's alltime favorites. I actually saw him on the field once (after retirement), possibly during the '82 World Series. My early favorites were Bruce Sutter, Daryl Porter and Joaquin Andujar.Sir Nuke said:YES, I saw Gibson pitch...in fact I got go to go to one of the world series games and see him pitch, it was either 67 or 68, don't remember for sure....it was a great experience as a kid....others on the team were greats like Kurt Flood, Lou Brock, Tim McCarver......and even Joe Tore the Yanks current Manager.....
Well I was a kid....not sure where the park was in relation to the new one...but if I remember correctly it wasn't that far away..... and I hear now that St. Louis is ready to tear down Busch and build a new one.....wow...makes me feel old.
Here is a picture of the ORIGINAL Busch Stadium......
like I said in an earlier post....I can't loose....ONE of my teams will be in the series.....and I really hope they whip the yankee's like red headed stepchildren!+ friction said:Wow, that pic almost looks like the minor league park here in Charleston.

I've lost touch w/the Cards after moving east, but I'm psyched about seeing them stick it to the Yankees in a week or so.
Cool pic...batting practice?! Very cool. When I was in HS, a friend of my one of my dad's staff was in charge of promotions for STL. He got us down on the field and in the dugout once too.ToBeBackDoc said:Me this spring at Busch Stadium. I got a chance to take batting practice on the home field of the future world champs. Go Cards!!!!
