Cardinals Struggle After Big 1960s Run

The St. Louis Cardinals, two-time defending NL pennant contenders, slump to fourth in the league as they fail to reach .500 this season. A three-game winning streak is their longest, and a four-game series loss to the Mets highlights a troubling slide. Injuries, especially to Vada Pinson, crippled the lineup after he joined from Cincinnati to replace Roger Maris in right field.

Cardinals trade flurry reshapes roster leading in centerfielders

The Cardinals’ busy off season trades left them with a four man centerfield line led by Curt Flood Pinson Vic Davalillo and Boots Day. They shed stars like Cepeda and Tolan for pitchers and catchers. The result is a stretched roster that now tops the league in centerfielders. Two years earlier the pennant team used 27 players versus the Mets’ 54.

Key to the Puzzle Is Hot Louw Brock in Cardinals Center

Cardinals star Brock heats up as the team eyes a stretch against Mets and Cubs with 17 of 21 games vs New York and Chicago. Brock's baserunning and power, paired with Gibson, are seen as the key to turning their season. Torre notes Brock can do anything, and the lineup must rise with him as timing and confidence rebound.
