Most Memorable Postseason Moment

Enos Slaughter's Mad Dash Home -- 1946

The Cardinals and Red Sox had split the first six games of the 1946 World Series, and Game Seven was tied at three when Enos Slaughter singled off Bob Klinger to lead off the eighth. It was Slaughter's first hit since breaking his elbow in Game Five, and the veteran outfielder had more surprises in store. After the next two batters were retired, Harry Walker shot a line drive over shortstop Johnny Pesky's head for a double. Surprising everyone, Slaughter rounded third and broke for home, just beating Pesky's relay throw from centerfielder Leon Culberson to put the Cardinals ahead for good.

Most Memorable Postseason Performer

Bob Gibson -- 1967

FUN FACT » While Gibson is undoubtedly the most famous postseason pitcher in Cardinals history, his 1.89 World Series ERA is not the lowest in club history. That honor goes to Harry Brecheen, who held opponents to a 0.83 ERA over seven World Series games in the 1940s. All the Cardinals needed to end Boston's "Impossible Dream" in 1967 were twenty-five runs and the dominating pitching of Bob Gibson. Gibson hurled complete-game victories in Games One, Four, and Seven, allowing just three runs and five walks while racking up 26 strikeouts in his twenty-seven innings of work. In the deciding game he tossed a three-hitter against a tiring Jim Lonborg to wrap up the Cards' second championship in four seasons.

Most Memorable Postseason Team

1934: The Gas House Gang

Thanks to a 21-7 September run and 49 wins from the Dean brothers -- Dizzy and Paul -- Frankie Frisch's Gas House Gang edged out the Giants for the NL pennant. The Dean brothers continued their dominance against Detroit in the seven-game World Series, with Dizzy tossing a shutout in the decisive seventh game to improve the tandem's record to 4-1 with a 1.43 ERA in five starts. But a runaway victory for the Cards in the finale was marred by Ducky Medwick's hard slide into third baseman Marv Owen in the sixth. When Medwick took the field in the bottom of the inning, Tiger Stadium fans pelted the left fielder with garbage. Medwick was forced to leave the game, but his teammates wrapped up the 11-0 victory -- and the World Series -- with ease.
