1964 World Series NY Yankees St Louis Cardinals

[seachase22]

Wrong wrong Uncle Bob Uncle Bob. The 64 series was played at Busch Stadium I, formerly known as Sportsman's Park, where the Gas House Gang played. As legend has it, when Anheuser Busch bought the Cardinals and the stadium in 1953, they first tried to change it's name to Budweiser Stadium, but MLB frowned on the crass commercialism. Naming rights hadn't been thought of yet. As a fall back, the stadium was named Busch, and the brewery later introduced a new product, Busch Bavarian Beer.

Bush Stadium was not the stomping grounds of the Gas House Gang. It didn't even exist when the players Harry Caray mentioned were on the diamond.

The 1964 series one of the greatest world series of all time between two of the greatest teams of the 1960's decade with the Cardinals pulling it out in 7 games.In that series in game 4 with the Cardinals trailing the series 2 games to 1 and the Yankees leading 3-0 in game 4 ready to take a 3 game to 1 lead in the series Ken Boyers dramatic grandslam in the 5th inning won the game 4-3 for the cards and it tied the series and put the Cardsback in it and St Louis won game 5 and 7 to win it.

@bondsly If Whitey Ford hadn't got hurt in Game 1, I think the Yankees would have prevailed. 

[dzanier]

Yeah, there's a good chance they would've won. Actually, Ford had been hurt the whole year and dealing with it. During this game though it became unmanageable.

Great World Series between perhaps the two Historically Franchises in MLB the Yankees and Cardinals
