FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»May 24, 1974: With the game scoreless in the 9th, the Cards put runners on 1B and 3B with one out. Tim McCarver grounds to Cubs 1B Billy Williams who fires home to C Tom Lundstedt to snag Ted Simmons in a rundown. But as soon as Lundstedt throws to 3B Matt Alexander, Simmons races home to an uncovered plate. Cards win, 1–0.
»September 21, 1978: The Cubs tie an National League record by using 27 players during a 14-inning 3–2 loss to the Pirates. Pittsburgh's margin comes when Rennie Stennett walks in the 14th and pinch runner Matt Alexander steals 2nd. When C Doug Rader's throw goes into CF, Alexander heads for 3rd where the center fielder's throw hits him in the back, allowing him to score. The Pirates are now one 1/2 games behind the Phils.
