    Forget (or more likely didn't know) that Roger Maris closed his career in this game.

    The Cardinals have never played the Dodgers in the WS! This had to be the NLCS and the Cards went on to play Detroit in the WS. :)

    The XXXgers may have thrown you off Jon. this was Cardinals-Tigers. No playoffs in 1968. You won the pennant, it was World Series time.

    Baseball had 10 leagues before it broke up into the divisional play. What would it be, 16 teams leagues if there were not divisions? I think that would kill attendance because so many teams would be out of the running by June.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Although he didn't play in this game (only games 1 & 4), Eddie Mathews also ended his career with this game.
