How Tony Scott found a home with Cardinals

Posted in Hitters, Trades on November 4, 2016| 2 Comments »

Initially perceived as a marginal player in an unimportant trade, Tony Scott replaced Bake McBride in center field for the Cardinals and was their most prominent starter at that position until Willie McGee claimed the role.

tony_scottThough Scott got his chance with the Cardinals because of his connections to Vern Rapp, it was under another manager, Ken Boyer, with whom Scott had his best St. Louis season.

On Nov. 8, 1976, the Cardinals traded pitchers Bill Grief and Angel Torres and outfielder Sam Mejias to the Expos for pitcher Steve Dunning, infielder Pat Scanlon and Scott.

Underwhelmed by the transaction, Dick Kaegel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote, “On the surface, it looks like one of those meaningless exchanges of baseball bodies, a deal that could hurt both clubs.”

Rapp’s guys

Dunning, Scanlon and Scott all had played in 1976 for Rapp, who managed Denver, the Class AAA club of the Expos.

In comments to The Sporting News, Scott said of Rapp, “He handles players right. He always gives people a fair shot. He made a winner out of everybody. It was a great experience to play for him.”

After the 1976 season, Rapp was chosen by the Cardinals to replace Red Schoendienst as manager.

On Rapp’s recommendation, Cardinals general manager Bing Devine made the trade for Dunning, Scanlon and Scott.

Devine said the key player for St. Louis was Dunning, a right-handed reliever who had been a first-round choice of the Indians in the 1970 draft. Dunning, 27, split the 1976 season between the Expos (2-6, 414 ERA) and Denver (3-0, 2.74 ERA).

The Cardinals hoped Scanlon could provide pop as a pinch-hitter. Scanlon, 24, hit .308 with 18 home runs for Denver in 1976.

Odd fit

Scott, 25, seemed the least likely to fit in with the 1977 Cardinals, who were flush with outfielders such as McBride, Lou Brock, Hector Cruz, Jerry Mumphrey and Mike Anderson.

McBride, who won the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 1974, had been limited to 64 starts in center field for the 1976 Cardinals because of knee surgery, but he was expected to be recovered in 1977.

Scott, a switch-hitter, had batted .182 with the 1975 Expos after having spent parts of the 1973 and 1974 seasons with them. At Denver in 1976, Scott batted .311 with 21 doubles, 18 stolen bases and an on-base percentage of .361.

Regarding Scott’s play in center, Rapp said, “Denver has one of the larger fields in baseball. Tony had a lot of room to run and he did a good job.”

Unimpressed, Ian MacDonald of The Sporting News wrote, “The Expos were in the market for a good defensive outfielder and they feel that they may have their man in Mejias.”

Job won

Scott played in the Puerto Rican Winter League after his trade to the Cardinals and established a single-season record with 25 stolen bases, including three steals of home.

After a strong spring training, Scott opened the 1977 season as a Cardinals reserve outfielder. The starters were Brock in left, McBride in center and Cruz in right.

Neither Dunning nor Scanlon would play for the Cardinals.

Scott sizzled from the start. He batted .357 (10-for-28) in April and .355 (27-for-76) in May.

Meanwhile, McBride, hampered by a shoulder injury, was feuding with Rapp, who had banned his players from growing long hair or facial hair.

In The Sporting News, Neal Russo wrote, “Rapp was not on the greatest of terms with McBride. It was Bake who became the first to defy the new manager on his hair code.”

On June 15, 1977, the Cardinals traded McBride to the Phillies and made Scott the center field starter. McBride, who had hit .300 or better in each of his first four seasons (1973-76) with the Cardinals, was batting .262 when traded. Scott had a .331 batting average.

Redbird regular

Scott finished the 1977 season with a .291 batting mark, 16 doubles and 13 stolen bases in 95 games.

Scott opened the 1978 season as the Cardinals’ starting center fielder. In April, Rapp was fired and replaced by Boyer. A month later, the Cardinals acquired George Hendrick from the Padres and made him their everyday center fielder. Scott hit .228 in 96 games.

In 1979, Boyer moved Hendrick to right field and reinserted Scott at center field. Scott responded with a solid season: .259 batting average, 152 hits in 153 games, 22 doubles, 10 triples, 68 RBI (including eight sacrifice flies) and 37 stolen bases. Scott also ranked first among NL center fielders in assists (13) and third in putouts (398).

Scott again was the Cardinals’ starting center fielder in 1980 _ he ranked first among NL center fielders in fielding percentage at .997 _ and at the beginning of 1981.

On June 7, 1981, the Cardinals traded Scott to the Astros for pitcher Joaquin Andujar. The following year, McGee emerged as the Cardinals’ everyday center fielder. McGee and Andujar played prominent roles in helping the 1982 Cardinals to a World Series championship.

In five seasons (1977-81) with the Cardinals, Scott batted .255.

Tom Lawless and his role in Cardinals World Series lore

Posted in Games, Hitters, Opponents on November 1, 2016| 2 Comments »

(Updated July 26, 2022)

Four of the most memorable Cardinals World Series home runs were hit by third basemen: Whitey Kurowski, Ken Boyer, David Freese and Tom Lawless.

In 1942, Kurowski hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning of Game 5 at New York, breaking a 2-2 tie and carrying the Cardinals to a 4-2 victory over the Yankees in the championship clincher.

tom_lawlessIn 1964, Boyer hit a sixth-inning grand slam off Al Downing in Game 4 at New York, lifting the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory over the Yankees and evening the series at 2-2.

In 2011, Freese hit an 11th-inning walkoff home run off Mark Lowe in Game 6 at St. Louis, giving the Cardinals a 10-9 victory over the Rangers and evening the series at 3-3.

Kurowski, Boyer and Freese were Cardinals starters in the years in which they hit their dramatic World Series home runs.

Not so for Lawless, who rarely played during the regular season for the 1987 Cardinals. After three games of the 1987 World Series, slugger Reggie Jackson, working the event for ABC television, told USA Today, “I’m still trying to find out who Tom Lawless is.”

In Game 4, on Oct. 21, 1987, Lawless introduced himself to the nation in a most unexpected manner. He hit a three-run home run off Frank Viola in the fourth inning, carrying the Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Twins and evening the series at 2-2.

Lawless had gotten two hits, none a home run, and no RBI during the 1987 regular season. Though Lawless was on the Cardinals’ active roster all season, he appeared in a mere 19 games and batted .080 (2-for-25).

Fat pitch

Lawless, who made three starts (none at third base) during the regular season, got his chance to play in the World Series because of a rib-cage injury to third baseman Terry Pendleton.

Lawless started at third in Game 1 versus Viola and was hitless in three at-bats. Jose Oquendo started at third for the Cardinals in Games 2 and 3.

In Game 4, manager Whitey Herzog returned Lawless to the starting lineup. He batted eighth and played third, with Oquendo moving to right field.

Pitching for the Twins was Viola, who earned 17 wins during the regular season and won Game 1 of the World Series.

According to Cardinals Magazine, after Viola struck out Lawless in the second inning of Game 4, Lawless said to teammate Jack Clark, “Viola is killing me. I can’t hit his change-up.”

Clark advised him to look for a fastball.

In the Cardinals’ half of the fourth inning, with the score tied at 1-1, Tony Pena led off with a walk and moved to third on Oquendo’s single.

Lawless batted next and, with the count 0-and-1, Viola threw a fastball.

“A mediocre fastball,” said Twins manager Tom Kelly.

“It was less than mediocre,” said Viola. “It was a brutal fastball.”

Flipping out

Lawless swung and lifted a high fly toward left field.

Lawless “gazed fondly as the ball headed for the facing behind the wall,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

“From the way he hit it and stood there, I thought it must be in the upper deck,” said Herzog.

Keeping his eye on the ball, Lawless, bat in hand, began a slow walk toward first base. When he saw the ball carry just beyond the wall and the umpire signal home run, Lawless flipped the bat into the air and began his jubilant home run trot. Video

On the ABC telecast, broadcaster Al Michaels exclaimed, “Did we really see that?”

Regarding the bat flip, Lawless said, “I just must have blanked out there for a second. This never happened to me before.”

Divine intervention

The home run gave the Cardinals a 4-1 lead and stunned the Twins.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune described it as “a sporting miracle” and “a swing that will forever become a part of World Series lore.”

Lawless said he walked slowly to first while watching the ball because he thought he had hit a sacrifice fly and didn’t want to pass Oquendo on the basepath.

“It’s a big stadium, especially for a little guy like me,” Lawless told the Post-Dispatch. “I’ve hit balls that good before, but they haven’t gone out.” Boxscore

On the rare side

Until then, Lawless had hit only one home run in the big leagues. It occurred on April 25, 1984, for the Reds against Ken Dayley of the Braves at Atlanta. Dayley was a teammate of Lawless on the 1987 Cardinals.

Lawless became the third Cardinals player to hit a World Series home run after having hit none during the regular season that year. The others were pitchers: Jesse Haines in 1926 and Bob Gibson, who did it twice, in 1967 and in 1968.

Before Lawless, the last non-pitcher to hit a World Series home run after having hit none during the regular season that year was outfielder Marv Rickert of the 1948 Braves, according to the Post-Dispatch.

Acknowledging the dreamlike status of his achievement, Lawless said, “I may sleep in my uniform tonight.”

Leon Durham and his sad second act with Cardinals

Posted in Hitters on October 29, 2016| 3 Comments »

(Updated Feb. 5, 2025)

Given a chance at redemption by the 1989 Cardinals after a bout with substance abuse, Leon Durham botched the opportunity and got suspended from the majors for failing a drug test. At 32, his big-league career had reached rock bottom.

leon_durhamTwenty-seven years later, after an odyssey in the minors as a player and coach, Durham’s exile from the big leagues ended on Oct. 21, 2016, when the Tigers named Durham their assistant hitting coach for the 2017 season.

The promotion returned Durham to the major leagues for the first time since he played for the Cardinals in September 1989.

Durham, a Cardinals reserve first baseman, was suspended 60 days on Sept. 22, 1989, for failing to comply with baseball’s drug-testing program. When the suspension ended, no big-league club was willing to give him another chance.

Determined to remain in the game, Durham went to the far reaches of the minors.

From 1990-95, Durham played for five minor-league clubs, including St. Paul in the independent Northern League (where his teammate for one game was 67-year-old Minnie Minoso) and two teams in the Mexican League.

After that, Durham was a minor-league coach for 21 consecutive years (1996-2016), including 16 (2001-2016) with the Toledo Mud Hens, Class AAA affiliate of the Tigers. After a stint on the 2017 Tigers’ coaching staff, Durham spent three seasons (2018-2020) as a minor-league coach in the Reds’ system. Overall he spent 25 years as a coach _ 24 in the minors and one in the big leagues.

Premier prospect

Durham’s professional career began promisingly. He was selected by the Cardinals in the first round of the 1976 amateur draft. In 1979, Hal Lanier, manager of the Cardinals’ Class AAA team at Springfield, Ill.,  told Larry Harnly of The State Journal-Register, “Durham should be a Dave Parker or a Willie Stargell. He has the ability to be that type of a hitter.”

Durham debuted with St. Louis in 1980, batting .271 with 15 doubles and 42 RBI in 96 games, primarily as an outfielder.

Whitey Herzog, who had the dual roles of field manager and general manager of the Cardinals, envisioned Durham as a key player.

“I wanted to trade (first baseman) Keith Hernandez and keep (Durham),” Herzog said to Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Sports editor Kevin Horrigan wrote, “Herzog tried to trade Keith Hernandez to the Chicago Cubs to get relief ace Bruce Sutter. The Cubs demanded Durham and Herzog reluctantly made the deal.”

In December 1980, the Cardinals traded Durham, third baseman Ken Reitz and utility player Ty Waller to the Cubs for Sutter.

Sutter helped the Cardinals win the 1982 World Series championship and went on to earn election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Durham became the Cubs’ everyday first baseman. He hit 20 or more home runs for them five times and twice had 90 or more RBI in a season.

By 1988, though, rookie Mark Grace had emerged as the Cubs’ choice to play first base, making Durham expendable. The Cubs dealt Durham to the Reds for pitcher Pat Perry in May 1988.

Durham, a Cincinnati native, was a bust with the Reds. He batted .216 in 21 games, entered a drug rehabilitation center in July and didn’t play the rest of the season. The Reds released him in November.

Mr. Clean

The Cardinals, seeking protection in case first baseman Pedro Guerrero got injured, offered Durham a minor-league contract in February 1989. “St. Louis just came out of nowhere,” said Durham. “It was great when St. Louis spoke up.”

Asked about his drug problems, Durham said, “A lot of people think it was worse than it was. It’s back on track now. That stuff is behind me.”

Durham opened the 1989 season with the Cardinals’ Class AAA Louisville club. He played well. He was tested four times for drugs and was cleared each time.

In late May 1989, Ted Simmons, Cardinals director of player development, told Vahe Gregorian of the Post-Dispatch that Durham was “clean as a whip.”

Louisville manager Mike Jorgensen said Durham was “like another coach.”

Said Simmons of Durham: “He’s as good a guy to have on that club as there is. He’s a leader over there and it’s a tribute to the way he’s conducted himself, given his past. If someone were to say to me, ‘Would you take a chance on Durham at this point,’ I would say there’s no chance to take. He’s clean, he’s a credit and he’s an asset.”

Lesson learned

On June 23, 1989, Durham was called up to the Cardinals. He declared himself drug-free and determined to make the most of his return to the big leagues.

“I’m clean. I’m healthy. I’m wise,” Durham said. “I’m strong … I’ve got peace of mind.”

Herzog said Durham told him, “Test me every day if you want to.”

Said Herzog: “I never thought Durham would get messed up on drugs. That was a big surprise.”

Durham told Hummel, “I made a mistake. I learned.”

Limited primarily to pinch-hitting and hampered by a rib-cage injury and a right ankle sprain, Durham rarely played for the Cardinals.

His lone highlight was a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, giving the Cardinals a 4-3 walkoff victory over the Astros on Sept. 3. “I’m happy I could finally contribute to this ballclub instead of being a joke in the locker room,” Durham said. Boxscore

Failing grade

With a week left in the Cardinals’ 1989 season, Durham had a .056 batting average (1-for-18) with one RBI when it was announced he was being suspended for 60 days for failure to comply with baseball’s drug policy.

Durham apparently failed a drug test administered during a September series in Chicago, according to the Post-Dispatch.

“I feel really sorry for him,” said Cardinals general manager Dal Maxvill. “He was in our plans for next year.”

Said Durham: “I’ve been clean for 15 months. I’m disappointed in this happening. I’ve worked hard to get back and they (the Cardinals) had plans for me.”

Cardinals came close to facing Indians in 1948 World Series

Posted in Games, Hitters, Opponents on October 20, 2016| Leave a Comment »

If not for a slump at the start of September by Stan Musial, the Cardinals, not the Braves, might have been National League champions and opposed the Indians in the 1948 World Series.

eddie_dyer2The Braves (91-62) won the pennant, finishing 6.5 games ahead of the second-place Cardinals (85-69), and lost four of six to the Indians in the World Series.

Led by Musial’s torrid hitting, the Cardinals entered September at 68-57, two games behind the Braves.

Hot pursuit

Musial, 27, was at his peak in 1948. He won his third Most Valuable Player Award and led the league in runs (135), hits (230), doubles (46), triples (18), RBI (131), batting average (.376), on-base percentage (.450), slugging percentage (.702) and total bases (429).

Many thought the Cardinals were poised to pass the Braves in the standings in September 1948 and win their fifth pennant of the decade, but Musial went into a slump at the start of September.

Entering the month with a batting average of .378, Musial produced a mere three hits in his first 24 at-bats in September. The Cardinals lost five of seven games and fell into fourth place at 70-62, 5.5 games behind the front-running Braves.

In The Sporting News, Bob Broeg wrote, “It was Musial’s first man-sized slump during the first week of September that caused the Cardinals to lose all but a thread-slender flag chance.”

The height of frustration for the Cardinals occurred in a three-game series against the Pirates at Pittsburgh. In a Labor Day doubleheader on Sept. 6, the Cardinals hit into eight double plays _ six in the opener and two in the second game _ and lost by scores of 2-1 and 4-1.

The next night, in the series finale, the Cardinals threatened in the first inning, but Musial lined into a triple play, and the Pirates rolled to a 6-2 triumph. Boxscore

“That series was a body blow, but we’re still in the race,” Cardinals manager Eddie Dyer said.

Just short

The Cardinals finished strong, winning seven of their last 10, but placed second.

Dyer pointed to injuries that limited Red Schoendienst to 95 starts at second base and Whitey Kurowski to 62 starts at third as difference makers in the race.

“Except for our infield injuries, I believe we would be out in front,” Dyer said. “Too often we missed that potential punch and the ability to make the double play.”

Cardinals pitchers delivered rare RBI prowess in Series

Posted in Games, Hitters, Pitchers, Records on October 14, 2016| Leave a Comment »

After a season in which he ranked among the National League leaders, no one would have figured Cardinals ace Mort Cooper would do better as a hitter than as a pitcher in the 1942 World Series.

mort_cooper5Cooper, who led the NL in wins (22), shutouts (10) and ERA (1.78) and placed among the top two in strikeouts (152), starts (35) and innings pitched (278.2), started Games 1 and 4 of the 1942 World Series against the Yankees.

To the surprise of most, the right-hander posted an 0-1 record and 5.54 ERA in those two games.

However, in Game 4, Cooper delivered a two-run single off starter Hank Borowy and scored a run, contributing to a 9-6 Cardinals triumph and putting the Yankees on the brink of elimination.

In the ninth inning, Cardinals reliever Max Lanier, who got the win, produced a RBI-single off Tiny Bonham, the Yankees’ 6-foot-2, 215-pound pitcher.

Pitchers with pop

With the run-scoring hits from Cooper and Lanier, the 1942 Cardinals are one of five teams that have had two pitchers produce RBI in a postseason game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The others:

_ Jack Bentley and Hugh McQuillan for the Giants versus the Senators in Game 5 of the 1924 World Series.

_ Lefty Gomez and Johnny Murphy for the Yankees versus the Giants in Game 6 of the 1936 World Series.

_ Steve Avery and Mike Stanton for the Braves versus the Pirates in Game 2 of the 1992 NL Championship Series.

_ Kyle Hendricks and Travis Wood for the Cubs versus the Giants in Game 2 of the 2016 NL Division Series.

Cooper contributes

Cooper was the losing pitcher in the 1942 World Series opener on Sept. 30. He yielded 10 hits, three walks and five runs in 7.2 innings.

After the Cardinals won Games 2 and 3, manager Billy Southworth opted to start Cooper in Game 4 at Yankee Stadium on three days’ rest on Oct. 4 rather than Lanier, a 13-game winner who hadn’t yet appeared in the 1942 World Series.

Lanier, a left-hander, had made 20 starts for the 1942 Cardinals, but he was 5-0 with a 1.25 ERA in 14 relief appearances that season.

The Yankees led, 1-0, in Game 4 before the Cardinals scored six runs in the fourth. Stan Musial opened the inning with a bunt single. The Cardinals took the lead on Whitey Kurowski’s two-run single and Cooper, who batted .184 with seven RBI during the regular season, increased the advantage to 4-1 with his two-run hit.

“Cooper found an outside pitch to his liking and blooped a single to right that sent (Johnny) Hopp and Kurowski home and moved (Marty) Marion to third,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Run-scoring hits by Terry Moore and Musial capped the inning and gave the Cardinals a 6-1 advantage.

Manager misjudgment

Cooper, though, couldn’t shut down the Yankees. He surrendered five runs in 5.1 innings.

Cooper “went into the classic too tired to show at his best,” wrote columnist Dan Daniel in The Sporting News. “After he had been batted out of the first game, he decided that his troubles traced to his fastball. When again he encountered the Bombers (in Game 4), he tried to get by on his curve and it was nothing much. He just didn’t have it.”

Fortunately for the Cardinals, Lanier, who followed Cooper and relievers Harry Gumbert and Howie Pollet, pitched three scoreless innings for the win.

The Cardinals clinched the title with their fourth consecutive victory in Game 5.

“About my only regret was that the Yankees did not see the real Mort Cooper,” Southworth said. “In Mort’s first game, he just wasn’t sharp. He was too careful. In his second start, he should have had another day’s rest. I was to blame. But Mort wanted to go and I admit I wanted him to. I should have waited another day.” Boxscore

How Game 2 rally turned around 2006 NLCS for Cards

Posted in Games, Hitters, Opponents on October 11, 2016| 2 Comments »

(Updated March 23, 2025)

In Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Mets, Scott Spiezio and So Taguchi symbolized the grit, determination and teamwork of the 2006 Cardinals.

so_taguchi3After the Mets won the opener at Shea Stadium in New York, they had a chance to take command of the best-of-seven series with a victory in Game 2.

Many expected them to do so.

The Mets completed the 2006 regular season with the best record in the National League at 97-65. The Cardinals at 83-78 had the worst record of the teams that qualified for the fall tournament.

When the Mets took a 6-4 lead into the seventh inning of Game 2 at New York, the odds seemed stacked against the Cardinals.

That’s when role players Spiezio and Taguchi came through.

Spiezio tied the score with a two-run triple in the seventh and Taguchi knocked in the go-ahead run with an improbable home run in the ninth, carrying the Cardinals to a 9-6 victory and tying the series at 1-1.

Saved from having to overcome a deep deficit, the Cardinals won the series in seven games and went on to clinch the World Series championship, their first since 1982.

Coming back

Guillermo Mota, the fourth Mets pitcher used in Game 2, entered in the seventh to protect the 6-4 lead. Mota had a 3-0 record and 1.00 ERA in 18 regular-season appearances for the Mets.

He retired the first two batters of the inning, David Eckstein and Chris Duncan.

Albert Pujols then worked an 11-pitch at-bat, hitting a single after fouling off six pitches. Mota, either rattled or worn down by the duel with Pujols, walked Jim Edmonds on four pitches.

That brought Spiezio to the plate.

Soap opera

Manager Tony La Russa had given Spiezio the start at third base, batting him fifth in the order, in place of slumping Scott Rolen, who had produced one hit in the 2006 postseason.

“There’s something in his (batting) stroke that’s not right,” La Russa said of Rolen to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Rolen said he was “very surprised” by and “very disappointed” in La Russa’s decision. As columnist Bernie Miklasz wrote, “It’s never entirely about baseball, the Cardinals have to introduce a new soap opera plot, ignite a feud or smolder through a psychodrama.”

Spiezio validated La Russa’s move. With the count at two strikes, Spiezio hit a triple to right, scoring Pujols and Edmonds and tying the score at 6-6. Right fielder Shawn Green prevented Spiezio’s smash from being a home run by leaping over the fence and deflecting the ball back onto the field with his glove.

So sweet

With the score still deadlocked at 6-6, Mets closer Billy Wagner, who posted 40 saves in 2006, was brought in by manager Willie Randolph to pitch the ninth.

The first batter he faced was So Taguchi, who was pinch-hitting for Duncan. Though Duncan had hit 22 home runs in 2006 and Taguchi had hit two, La Russa preferred to have a right-handed batter face Wagner, a left-hander.

Wagner got ahead in the count 0-and-2 against Taguchi. Then, like Pujols did versus Mota in the seventh, Taguchi frustrated Wagner by fouling off four pitches and working the count to 3-and-2.

Wagner threw a fastball and Taguchi hit it over the left-field wall for a home run, giving the Cardinals a 7-6 lead. Video

A stunned Taguchi said to Sports Illustrated, “Who expected that I would hit a home run? Nobody, not even me.”

The Cardinals scored two more runs off Wagner. Pujols doubled, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Spiezio’s double. Juan Encarnacion singled, scoring Spiezio and extending the lead to 9-6.

In the bottom half of the inning, Tyler Johnson struck out Carlos Delgado. Adam Wainwright relieved and got David Wright and Shawn Green to ground out, ending the game. Boxscore

In his book “The Captain,” Wright said, “The entire Cardinals team, with La Russa at the helm and defensive wizard Yadier Molina behind the plate, were tremendous at discovering and exploiting weaknesses.”
