yes, being from stlouis and not having this game,, this was my best find in months lol.... giants and jeff leonard came into town talking smack... cardinals shut them out the last 2 games lol,,, was amazing, great underrated series, no jack clark, still pulled it off... of course clark signed with the Yankees after the season, but anyway lol
A classic dual between two gutsy pitchers pitting two contrasting styles of play. The Cardinals had a lot of rivals in the 80’s (Cubs & Mets to be sure), but don’t understate the intensity of this rivalry!
Wow, a 1-0 Cardinal Win! You don't get better than this, where the Giants wanted to win the game, to close the series in 6 games. Or the Cards winning to make it 3 games a piece. Great pitching by both teams, but 2 defensive plays by the Cardinals, we're a huge difference. The force-out at 3rd base and the McGee running catch. Then Game 7, another shutout for the Cards, via Danny Cox CG, and a big 3-run HR from bench player Jose Oquendo in the clinching 6-0 win. 80s baseball was the best, especially with Vin Scully announcing.
JayTemple crazy thing is he had already noticed the bump that turned out to be the tumor in his deltoid muscle at this point. He noticed it late in the '87 season but the trainers brushed it off. Wasn't diagnosed until almost a year later. It was called a desmoid tumor which actually isn't life-threatening per se, but it can effectively take over the arm. He wrote later that theoretically his arm still could have been saved with multiple further surgeries, but he was in so much pain and had effectively lost almost all use of the arm anyway that he literally just told the doctors they might as well take it off.
Two fun pitchers to watch, Tudor and Dravecky. It's too bad modern baseball people think pitchers are incapable of 1. getting batters out unless they throw in the high 90s, and 2. pitching past the seventh inning.
Only Whitey Herzog would end a one run playoff game with his #1 reliever in right field. No surprise he is in the Hall of Fame
that's a Tony LaRussa move!
Very amazing wonderful upload,,,, made my weekend with this one,,,,, thanks !!!!!!
It's a pleasure for me...those were the seasons, these the games, that made me a baseball fan.

as a Dodger fan i couldn't think of a worse NLCS than Giants - Cardinals. the two teams i hate the most.

I’ve got to believe that Candy Maldonado isn’t all that beloved in San Francisco. His defensive gaffes cost them two games.
We sure do love him up here in Toronto !! Game winning hit in game 3 of the 92 world series.
I forgot Tony Pena used to sit down, interesting to see
1:00:55 for the sign
What's the story on that sign?

who recorded this how tha hell u gon delete lou rawls
gibomber do you got when alex Rodriguez hit 3 homers against the angels
Awesome...thank you!
The Giants' starter, Dave Dravecky had shut the Cardinals out the last time. I bet he regrets saying he could beat them single-handed.

any chance of 1991 nlcs game 1 ?
damn if the catcher could have tagged Pena out then maybe the Giants would have won and gone to the WC
WC?
