Cool thread...one of my favorites. I remember when he got his 3,000 hit when I was a kid. I think through the Topps years Lou always had the coolest cards...this will be a fun thread to watch!

I remember that too. Of course it was against the Cubs. As I recall, he smote one up the middle and it careened off Dennis Lamp to the 3rd base area.

Only 2 more of him as a Cub - Good times are on the way, hence the slight smile perhaps????? Here is the 64 Jay Publishing - Day pic is 63, Night pic is 64 (or maybe the other way around, I forget).

Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post Dispatch is doing a series of the greatest 5 living Cardinals. Yesterday kicked it off with #5, Red Schoendienst. Today is #4, Lou.

Listened to it and some others. Thanks.

What is his criteria for "being" a Cardinals. For example does Steve Carlton qualify ? As much as I like to tease Cubs fans about Broglio for Brock, Carlton for Rick Wise still makes me cringe. Gibson is obvious, and Ozzie Smith.

Smith, Sutter, Cepeda, Eckersley were all Cardinals for a time. Herzog ? LaRusa ?

As sad as I was when it happened, sure am glad Pujols is now a LAA
