Just did an interview with former Cards pitcher Bob Forsch, real nice guy.

He's got a book out. "Bob Forsch's Tales From the Cardinal Dugout" a nice read of short anecdotes of his time oin baseball. He pretty much bridged the gap between the Shoendienst/Gibson/Brock years into Whiteyball, so he has lots of stories.

I highly recommend it for baseball fans.

... Sounds pretty interesting. I've always wondered how bad the Cards' clubhouse must have been from 1977-1980 to convince Whitey to clean house. I've heard Whitey's POV on it; it would be cool to hear from one of the players.

Also, the 1985 Cardinals have to be one of the most enjoyable teams I've ever seen. I wasn't happy to see them eliminate the Dodgers that year (of course), but St. Louis was clearly the better club, and it was a pleasure to see such a unique ballclub do its thing. Ozzie, Coleman, Clark, Herr, Pendleton, Van Slyke, Tudor, Andujar ... what a collection of talent and diversity. There are many I know that still insist to this day that they were robbed of a title.

BTW, Eddie -- If there was a book written about the "South Side Hitmen", the 1977 White Sox, I'd snap that up in about two seconds. You wouldn't happen to know of any, would you?

They WERE robbed, thanks to that bullshit call by the umpire in Game Six of the World Series.

They must have figured that Mondesi's upside was worth the price. I get the impression that Pittsburgh is asking a fortune for Giles/Kendall and from what I've heard they're looking to either move both guys or move neither.
