Thursday to Saturday Reading and NCAA What?

1 Samuel 4-12.
John 13-15.


I have watched only a part of a couple of NCAA tournament games this year.  I have not had much interest in college basketball for a few seasons, for whatever reason.

So let's get back to baseball.

Here's a link to the list of the 15 walk off homers in World Series history.  Would have never guessed there were only that many.  I don't know who a couple of these folks even are.

The Cardinals have been involved in two of them.

The first one involving the Cardinals has been referenced on this blog before.  It is the one recounted in Bob Gibson's book.  In 1964, Mickey Mantle absolutely crushed a Barney Schultz pitch, but Mike Shannon ran it out to the wall, even though it was obvious to everyone else in the stadium the ball was gone.

So that one didn't turn out too good.

But the second Cardinals homer on the list sure did.  And if I gotta tell you which one that is, you got a short memory.
