Even more unlikely was his two-out steal of home.

Wednesday will mark 38 years since the Cardinals traded Ken Oberkfell for left-handed pitcher Ken Dayley and backup first baseman Mike Jorgensen. Dayley became a cornerstone of the Cardinals' bullpen during their '85 and '87 pennant seasons and Jorgensen stayed in the organization as a coach and interim manager after he retired.

25 years ago today, Fernandomania came to St. Louis as the Cardinals acquired former Cy Young Award winner Fernando Valenzuela in a six-player trade with the Padres.

58 years ago today, the Cardinals and Cubs agreed to the infamous Brock-for-Broglio trade. At the time, many observers thought the Cubs had gotten the better of the deal. They, of course, were wrong:

58 years ago today, Ken Boyer wore his lucky sports coat to the ballpark to change his luck. It worked, as he hit for the cycle and Lou Brock made his Cardinals debut:
