If 1964 was exciting for Cardinal fans.
The Cardinals were struggling at midseason but went on a tear in the second half to get themselves into a tight pennant race with Cincinnati and Philadelphia. And the Cards prevailed by a single game if I recall correctly over the Reds and Phillies.
And then the Cardinals won a thrilling seven-game World Series over the Yankees.
It sure was! Bob Gibson was running out of gas —he was a reliever in the 7th game after having two starts. He had heart, let me tell you! Was a thrill a minute.
And saw two brothers battle each other —Clete and Ken Boyer.....
Ahhh.....they don’t make them exciting like that any more! Maybe in my old age, I’ve become more cynical :-)
Gibson winning games 1, 4 and 7. And then did the same in ‘67.
