Redbird Reels: The 1985 Cardinals | St. Louis Cardinals
Heat. Heat. Long down the line and it is a ball and a home run to tie it up. Oh, he missed the base, but he’s going to try. Oh, he’s going to score. Nobody’s there to cover retired 14 in a row. Shooter is one out away from his 20th win. swing and a bouncing ball to third. Ple and throws. That’s the winner. Smiths one in the right down the line. Go crazy, folks. Go crazy. And the Cardinals have won the game by the score of 3-2. A home run by the wizard in the left field and he out and maybe that’s the winner. A free home by Clark and it takes over the world on that one folks.
The 1985 Cardinals are one of the most successful, and most beloved, teams in Cardinals history. They also created two of the greatest moments in the club’s long history, with dramatic homeruns in NLCS games 5 and 6.
