Great show on the NBC affiliate here on The Gashouse Gang! This team is regarded ony being second best ever all time, only behind the mighty 1927 New York Yankees:

The old Bush Stadium had "No Pepper" spray painted in stenciled just to the right or the Cardinals dugout, that game's name being attributed to Pepper Martin. This team not only was hella talanted, but rich in character. Both Martin and Dizzy Dean were relativly young men when they died. I was fortunite to meet Leo "The Lip" Durocher at a card show about a year before he died, the only member of this team I ever met personally. His autograph line was slower then Ernie Banks, Banks known to be chatty, The Lip kept dosing off after they wheeled him in and propped him up. I got a ball and a picture signed, I wish I could have met him 15 years earlier, he was a real firecracker. I shook his wrinkley old hand. Niceist Hall of Famer I ever met and visited with at a card show has to be Ferguson Jenkins. Total class act. Biggest asshat, the late Catfish Hunter, rude.
