In August, slow-footed third-string catcher Glen Brummer steals home with 2 strikes on the batter and two outs in the bottom of the 12th for a 5-4 win.

On September 4th, Lonnie Smith stole five bases in a game against the Giants setting a franchise record.

On September 14th, Bruce Sutter gets Mike Schmidt to ground into a bases-loaded 1-2-3 double play that helps to save the game and seems to propel them towards the pennant.

September also saw a five game sweep of the Mets in New York.

On September 27th, Willie McGee hit an inside-the-park home run to help the Cards beat the Expos 4-2 to clinch the NL East.

Bruce Sutter becomes the first Cardinals' reliever to record 30 saves in a season.

Bruce Sutter was the NL Player of the Week for the week of Aug 29th and Sep 19th.

The Cardinals won the WS despite hitting a ML low 67 home runs during the season. George Hendrick (19) and Darrell Porter (12) were the only Cardinals with more than 10 home runs this season.

Dane Iorg went 9 for 17 with five extra-base hits in the WS.

Butch Yatkeman ended his career as the Cardinals equipment manager this year after 50 years. (1932-1982)

In the Cards' opener in Houston, Darrell Porter tagged Nolan Ryan for a three-run homer in the first inning to spark a 14-3 win!

The Cardinals selected Terry Pendleton (Fresno State) in the 7th round of this years draft.
