League Stats (from Baseball-Reference.com)
Highlights:
New turf is
installed for the start of the season. The new turf has a much richer
color making it easier to see the ball. Also, a new pitching mound was
added that could be hydraulically lowered below field level for non-baseball
events.
Willie McGee
hits for the cycle on June 23rd. (He's the only Cardinal to hit for
the cycle in the 80s.)
On July 18th, Darrell
Porter hits a 2 out, 11th inning, walk-off grand-slam home run to beat
the Giants.
The
team swipes 220 bases to break a club record set just the year before.
Joaquin
Andujar is the Cardinals first 20-game winner since 1977.
Bruce Sutter set the NL record for saves in a season (45). Rookie Terry
Pendleton hit .324 after joining the club in July.
Terry
Pendleton made his major league debut on July 18th with a three hit game.
In
December, the Cards make a trade with Pittsburgh that brings lefty John
Tudor to the team.
