Did you know that The Sporting News named Bing Devine, the Cardinals General Manager, Baseball's Executive of the Year for both 1963 and 1964? It would be no surprise in 1964 as the Redbirds were World Series Champions, but did you know that August Busch fired Devine in the latter part of the '64 pennant run? That's an example of one of the many interesting developments covered in this episode that details the members of the '64 roster. While the marquee players are noted, equal coverage is given to the role players, like those who closed out Gibson's victories and got on base to set up Boyer's grand slam. Relive the thrill of that season in this episode that also includes excerpts from actual game broadcasts by Jack Buck and Harry Caray.
