Cards owner has high hopes for 1973 St. Louis season
Red Schoendienst expresses confidence in a Cardinals team that rose from a 1-12 start to 50-33 by late June 1973. He cites true spirit and stick-to-it-iveness as key, noting steady starting pitching, a fortified infield and a strong bullpen despite power and speed deficits. The club moved from last to first as Los Angeles faltered, with the Cards climbing to lead the NL West after sweeping the Dodgers twice.
