Healthy pitchers are so precious that rather than take them out entirely, he sometimes stows them in rightfield.

Neither was still in his St. Louis uniform when the Cardinals finished their season sourly, losing control of both the Kansas City Royals and themselves, 11-0, in a World Series whose major miscalculation was scheduling the seventh game sixth...
