This Day in Cardinals History

Stan Musial's tenth-inning single finished an 8-7 Cardinals rescue after Bill White erased a two-run Giants lead in the ninth. This source-backed August 17, 1963 memory keeps the two innings together.

John Morris's eleventh-inning triple gave the Cardinals a 3-1 road win at Shea after speed created both the first run and the decisive opening. This source-backed August 16, 1986 memory follows the path to Morris's answer.

Matt Holliday's twelfth-inning single settled a Cardinals-Pirates game that had changed its answer three times. This source-backed August 15, 2013 memory follows the calm sequence that made the winning run.

The Cubs take a two-to-one lead. The Gashouse Gang answers with nine runs before the inning can catch its breath.

Seven scoreless innings at Forbes Field. Then Julian Javier gets one bases-loaded chance and turns it into every run the Cardinals need.

Two unearned runs at Forbes Field. Ten strikeouts. And Bob Gibson makes a paper-thin lead feel untouchable.

August 2, 1953: Harvey Haddix throws a complete game against the powerhouse Brooklyn Dodgers, Cardinals win 10-1.

August 1, 2001: Darryl Kile's 8-inning shutout duel with Greg Maddux, capped by a McGwire homer, sends the Cardinals to a 4-0 win.

August 3, 1991: Todd Zeile's 10th-inning walk-off home run beats the first-place Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5.

July 27, 2011 — four days before the deadline, the Cardinals ship Colby Rasmus to Toronto for Edwin Jackson, Octavio Dotel, Marc Rzepczynski, and Corey Patterson. The trade that fixed a broken season and fueled a World Series run.
