who thought this thread was bad luck? in the short time it's been alive the Cardinals have gone from an 82% chance of the playoffs to a 99% chance, not too shabby.

Hey, I think Lou Brock might be #20. Anyone got any pictures of him for this thread?

haHA. nothing like overkill.

I must admit he's probably my favorite Cardinal. Cool thing about Brock is that even though I only saw him during the 70s, he was a connection to the great teams of the 60s, which i was too young to see. Kind of like how Musial linked the Cards fans thru parts of 3 decades. Or Enos Slaughter, and Joe Medwick before that.

Just you wait until Cards get to 12 Aaron Miles #.

And the Cubs have gone from a 26% chance to 3% chance.
