Porter vow holds he'll join Cards
Fourteen months after Whitey Herzog was fired Porter vowed to play out his option in 1980 and join Herzog wherever he manages. He later signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, leaving the Royals amid turmoil and a record year for Kansas City. Herzog’s move to St. Louis reunited them as Porter faced personal struggles and a season with declining numbers. The winter meetings confirmed Porter's deal, while Cardinals owner plans to shuffle catchers and add pitching.
