Travels with Charlie

[Ron Madden]

With Major League Baseball 2020 still on hold, the author of this story shares his 10 greatest baseball memories with his Dad.

I was 14 years old and I was at Crosley Field the same day as this the number 3 memory on his list.

No. 3: 10 runs with two out, June 9, 1968: In the first game of a Sunday doubleheader at Crosley Field, things weren’t looking good for our Cardinals, which trailed the Reds 8-0 midway through the game.

But with two out in the top of the fifth inning and a man on second, nine consecutive Cardinals batters reached base safely, culminating with a towering home run by future Hall of Famer Lou Brock. Improbably, St. Louis scored 10 runs with two out, my first lesson that in baseball, anything can happen so long as you have at least one out left.

I thought it was a pretty good story here's the link
