ESPN Web Gems

ESPN did the Cardinals top three web gems "ever". Of course, they were lazy in their research and didn't dig deep at all. It's really a pretty dumb segment - but hey, they're trying to fill out an hour on Baseball Tonight.
Here they were:
3 - Jimmy's catch this year running up that ridiculous hill in Houston.
2 - A Jimmy over-the-wall steal (I forget the game)
1 - Ozzie catching a deep pop fly and diving over Lonnie Smith to do so.

Of course they had to pick one of Ozzie's. That's cool. I'd like to hear from some fans who've followed this team for years. What do you think?

Two great BIG GAME plays that come to mind for me are: (1) Willie's over-the-wall steal in the 1982 WS - back when it was really rare to see such a grab. (2) I think it was the 85 playoffs or WS...Terry Pendleton caught a deep foul pop up with a guy on 3rd, the guy on 3rd tagged and broke for home and Pendleton gunned his ass.

Cards all-Latino Team

OK, on todays thread there was discussion of the Cardinals not having any African American players. This led me to post my favorite all-Black Cardinal team, which was as follows:
1st - Dimitri Young
2nd - Delino DeShields
3rd - Pendelton
SS - Ozzie
P - Gibson
C - Marcus Jensen (someone else thought of this)
OF - Willie
OF - Brock
OF - Flood
DH - Lonnie Smith

And so now I present my all-Latino Cardinals:
1st - Galaragga....just kidding, AP
2nd - Julian Javier
3rd - Fernando Tatis
SS - Edgar
P - Joaquin
C - Tony Pena
OF - Juan Enc
OF - Felix Jose
OF - David Green
Util - Jose Oq.
DH - Pedro

I think Bob Gibson would take this team.
