I have some Cardinals stuff for you. When I was 10 years old I was at a game where Sandy Koufax was pitching against Ray Sadecki. The Cardinals won 1-0 on a Bob Uecker HR. He was a lousy hitter against the league but could hit Koufax well.
Oh wow, that's one for the ages. I forgot Uecker played for the Cards. And what a pitching matchup. If you'd seen Koufax and Gibson you might have combusted hahaha. But Sadecki ain't bad. Obviously won that day. You were in LA I take it. I've got some cool 90s-currebt stories but nothing that could top that.

Now I feel like I'll never forget this story that was awesome
HAHA.....I'm an old guy but got to see some of the Greats play. That game I saw against the Cardinals and Dodgers was in 1965.
That's great man I'm back in love w baseball myself the game itself and the insane amount of talent has drawn me back to the diamond and then to this game so I live stories like that
That's really cool. Baseball can be frustrating at times, especially during labor disputes but seriously, there is so much to love about the game. For instance, that Field of Dreams game and the while event this year seemed like a scripted movie. What a game.
And for the Giants fan above, talk about an incredible and unexpected season. I wish they had finished the Dodgers but that series alone was insanely good baseball.
