Last Friday the Cardinals beat the Tigers 4-2 in Game 5 with castoffs Jeff Weaver, David Eckstein and sore-shouldered Scott Rolen wrapping up their first Series title in nearly a quarter-century.



Going back in time we remember how in 1968 a dramatic Tigers-Cardinals match-up won by Detroit in seven games ended on a chilly night more appropriate to football than baseball.

After the Cardinals recent win, thousands of fans stayed in and around Busch Stadium, celebrating and hoping this will repeat itself on the upcoming season.
