Lonnie Smith leads the league with 120 runs.
April saw a 12-game winning streak
In early May, David Green pulled a hamstring in a collision at first. The Cardinals brought up a "temp," Willie McGee.
May saw injuries to Darrell Porter (broken finger), Gene Tenace (broken hand), Tommy Herr (torn leg muscle)
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.
The Cardinals won the WS despite hitting a ML low 67 home runs during the season.
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!
