They said it... Fun facts:

The new Busch Stadium hosts the All-Star game on July 12th.

Orlando Cepeda id aquired from the Giants on 5/8, for pitcher Ray Sadecki.

Tim McCarver was the first catcher ever to lead the National League in triples, 13 in 1966.

Rookie lefty Larry Jaster faced the Dodgers five times this year and shut them out all five times.  (LA was the eventual NL champs.)

Curt Flook appeared in 159 games and did not commit a single error.

The automatic tarp in the new Busch Stadium never worked correctly the entire season and had to be rolled out by hand.
