Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Here's a trivia quiz--
what player whose card is pictured in this post made his MLB debut in the 2nd game of the Father's Day double header when jim bunning pitched a perfect game?

I know Rick Wise 'famously' got his first career win in that second game, but it wasn't his ML debut…so I'm out.

I guess the baseball Gods felt they owed one from the Brock trade.

It went full circle if you include the Fergie Jenkins trade.

Rick Wise did have one of the best days ever by a pitcher, pitching a no-hitter and hitting two home runs. Against a pretty darn good lineup.

Default Memorable Cardinals Moments

Yes, Wise, Fernando Tatis, Mark Whiten and Bud Smith all had memorable moments as Cardinals. But meanwhile Steve Carlton....

Lots of bad trades in the lste 60's and early 70's.

Jerry Reuss for Scipio Spinks and Lance Clemons
Reggie Smith for Joe Ferguson
Jose Cruz
Mike Torrez
Jose Cardenal
Bobby Tolan for Vada Pinson

One of the few good ones was Cepeda for Torre.

In Sept., 1969, carlton (then with the Cardinals) became the 1st pitcher to strike out 19 batters in a 9 inning game and couldn't seal the deal. He lost to the Mets thanks to 2 2 run homers by that very nice young man Ron Swoboda of the 1969 World Champion Mets.
