Cardinals fan from the Metro-East (O'Fallon) who has relocated to the Roscoe Village neighborhood in Chicago. I've got the 1987 Cardinals lineup memorized by heart...and unfortunately, the 1988 one as well.

1967 Cardinals WAR (from Rally's WAR Index).  A team that went 101-60 with strength at all positions.  I wasn't around when this team played, but if you were, I'd love to hear a story or two.

Quick hits:

Orlando Cepeda's 7.1 and Tim McCarver's 6.0 were both the best of their careers.

Nelson Briles!  Stepped in after Gibby broke his leg.  The two combined to provide over 6 WAR.  

Roger Maris produced big time for the Birdos in his second-to-last year, putting up 3.3 WAR.
