October 27, 2006

Detroit Tigers 2 at St. Louis Cardinals 4, F -- Jeff Weaver was astounding, allowing one earned run and fanning nine in eight innings, while Series MVP David Eckstein had two RBIs and scored a run to lead the Cardinals to their first World Series win since 1982.

4. 9/8/98: Mark McGwire Hits No. 62

September 8, 1998

Chicago Cubs 3 at St. Louis Cardinals 6, F -- The single-season home run mark of Roger Maris had stood for 37 years, three seasons longer than Babe Ruth had held it. In the summer of 1998 Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa launched an all-out assault on baseball's most sacred single-season record. Fittingly, Sosa was in right field and Maris' kids were in the stands when McGwire blasted No. 62 over the left field wall to make history.

October 5, 1996

St. Louis Cardinals 7 at Padres 5, F -- MVP Ken Caminiti does his best to keep San Diego alive, blasting two homers and making a run-saving play in the field. But sophomore Brian Jordan steals the show with some sparkling defense of his own, followed by a game-winning blast off Padres closer Trevor Hoffman. Dennis Eckersley slams the door for his third save of the series as the Cardinals finish the sweep of the Padres.

2. 1982 World Series, Game 7: Brewers at Cardinals

October 20, 1982

Milwaukee Brewers 3 at St. Louis Cardinals 6, F -- Clutch hits by Keith Hernandez and George Hendrick backed the gutsy pitching of Joaquin Andujar. When Bruce Sutter recorded the last out to close the door on the Milwaukee "Harvey's wallbangers" Brewers, St. Louis had won its first World Series title since the Bob Gibson-led 1967 squad.

1. 1968 World Series, Game 1: Tigers at Cardinals

October 2, 1968

Detroit Tigers 0 at St. Louis Cardinals 4, F -- 1968 was frequently called "The Year of the Pitcher," and few were more dominant than Cards' ace Bob Gibson. The menacing Gibby was in peak form, as the NL MVP and Cy Young winner matched up against Tigers' 31-game winner Denny McLain. Gibson was at his best against the Tigers' best hitters, striking out Al Kaline and Norm Cash three times each, and fanning 17 to set a World Series record, steam-rolling to a five-hit shutout.
