Highlights:
The
stadium receives $79,000 worth of wheelchair conveniences. Ramps,

8 errors.
On August 29th,
Whitey Herzog is named GM.
This home opener
(April 10th) may have been the most exciting one ever. The Pirates were
in town and Pete Vuckovich started for the Birds. He took a 1-0 lead
into the ninth and then proceeded to wild-pitch the tying and winning runs to
third and second and because the Birds had no bullpen to speak of, he was
allowed to stay in the game. He then struck out Tim Foli, Dave Parker,
and Willie Stargell in succession to preserve the win!
In the August
28th rout of the Braves 11-2, Dane Iorg drove in 7 runs the the first four
innings.
In December
the Cards make a trade with the Cubs that brings Bruce Sutter to the team.
