Super Sky Point to “The White Rat” Whitey Herzog, who presided over the most exciting brand of baseball of my childhood - hell, my entire life. Speed, speed, more speed, defense, pitching, and a few Jack Clark three-run homers on plastic grass. And it was simply glorious. #RIP
@Super70sSports We need to find you one of the Pizza Hut glasses with his face on it from his Royals days...
@Super70sSports vince,willie,or ozzie would get on somehow and the next thing ya knew someone was on third..a suicide squeeze was always in play or Jack would rip one…that ball would kick ass today.Herr had 100rbis with like 8 taters. bring it back.
@Super70sSports Yes it was. And a lot of Vince Coleman slapping the ball into the astroturf and running like hell down to first. Then before you knew it he was on third after swiping a couple bases!
@Super70sSports Tom Herr’s insane 1985 stat line, 8 HRs, 110 RBIs.
@Super70sSports On a sun baked turf field running at 110 degrees.
@Super70sSports A great sports quote : When asked how his Cards would hold up in the playoffs, Whitey said. “Speed don’t slump”.
