Lets also not forget the Cardinals got absolutely slaughtered in game 7

11-0

Orta was out, no disputing that fact, however Cardinal fans always forget he was still the first out of the inning, a force out at third. (After Jack Clark missed an easy pop-out at first on the next batter.) Also, the fact conveniently forgotten was the Cardinals batted .185 for the series. Tito Landrum was the only player who had a good series- .360. (Ozzie's average was .087./ Porter- .133.)

I moved to St. Louis in February of 1986. I've heard all the arguments but have yet to find anyone that remembers the "blown call" against the Royals in game 2.

Tudor was just elected to Cardinals HOF recently. He spoke of 1985 fondly ( but did not mention the ending).

With school geting back in session, let's take the time to post any facts, discoveries and strange middle names (thanks Donruss!) about our cards that we have learned either from this site and/or from meticulously going over our collections.

For example, when checking the back of my cards on the Career Highlights section to se if they were Factory set or not, I noticed that the John Tudor card stated that in 1985, he "rebounded from 1-7 start to finish 2nd in NL CY Young voting". His record was 21-8 that year! If it wasn't for Dwight Gooden busting on the scene, he would've won it for sure.
