#OTD 1979 - Rick Ankiel was born in Fort Pierce, FL. Other than Bob Gibson, there may have not been a better pure athlete than Ankiel to play for the Cardinals. After suffering the "yips" as a pitcher, he reinvented himself into an incredible outfielder. Happy 47th Birthday Rick Ankiel! #STLCards

The Cardinals don't win the 2006 World Series without Jeff Suppan. "Soup" pitched the next-to-last game of the season to clinch the NL Central division title. In game 3 of the NLCS versus the Mets at Busch Stadium, he gave the Cardinals a 2 - 1 lead in the series by pitching 8 shutout innings - he also hit a home run! On the road at Shea Stadium in New York for game 7 and the series on the line, he will pitch 7 innings allowing just one run on two hits to lead the Cardinals to the National League Championship. (video below) He would be named the NLCS MVP. 🎙️ Mike Shannon and John Rooney 📺 MLB #STLCards | Jeff Suppan

#OTD 2007 - The Cardinals signed free agent Rick Ankiel. (Rick Ankiel) He was granted free agency just a month prior by the team. In 2005, after years of frustration and minor league struggles due to the "yips", Ankiel made a life-changing choice when he announced he was giving up pitching to become an outfielder. The Cardinals fully supported him, and he began the long and difficult climb back through the minors. He missed the entire 2006 season due to injury but exploded in 2007 at Triple-A Memphis, smashing 32 home runs and driving in 89 runs. On August 9, 2007, he was called up and made his debut as a position player - hitting a three-run homer in his first game back in a 5-0 Cardinals win over the Padres at Busch Stadium. 🎙️ Dan McLaughlin and Al Hrabosky

I had to do some deep file diving, but after all these years, I finally found the video! Thanks to Bevo57 for sparking this search. This video is a true treasure, with Lou talking about breaking the all time stolen bases record just a few days before this interview. I hope you all enjoy it. Lou was such a kind and personable man, and this video shows it. #STLCards
