They never could quite get past the Dodgers or Cardinals (six pennants total), Pirates (two pennants), or Reds except for 1962 and they had to beat the Dodgers in a playoff just to meet the Yankees in the Series.

Alou brothers

Back in the mid 90's a friend of mine was out in California on business. While there he took in a ball game in I think LA. and his seat was in the front row next to the foul line in left field. Moises Alou hit a ground rule double that bounced into my buddy's lap.

As it turned out, Moises' team was staying in the same hotel as my buddy so he took the ball to the main desk and ask them if they could ask Moises to autograph it when he came back to the hotel.

At about 11:00 p.m. that night, there was a knock on my buddy's door and it Moises standing there with the ball in his hand. My buddy invited him in and they sat and talked baseball over a couple of beers for the next hour and a half.......That was pretty cool
