Carl Warwick may not have been a large man at 5’ 10”, 170 lbs., but he had some big pinch hits in the 1964 World Series when the Cardinals defeated the Yankees in 7 games. Warwick bounced around during his MLB career with the spotlight finally finding him coming through in the clutch on the biggest stage. Join us for our third look at a role player who played a pivotal role in claiming a WS trophy for the Redbirds.

How many Cardinals have earned three World Series rings with three different teams?

The surprising answer is that there are several more Redbirds than just the unsung hero featured in this episode. Join us as we sing the praises of Ron Taylor who played a critical role on two teams- the 1964 Cardinals and the 1969 Mets- that had unlikely come from behind late season runs as WS champions. Now, what’s the name of the third team from which he collected a ring?

Most Cardinal fans will easily rattle off the names of stars who headlined St. Louis's late season drive to the 1964 pennant and eventual World Series crown: Brock, Gibson, Shannon, Boyer, Flood and others. Not ordinarily included on this list is Barney Schultz, the knuckleballer who put out one fire after another, especially in the critical month of September when the Redbirds scrambled from behind to the top of the National League, winning the pennant by one game. Enjoy this episode that chronicles Schultz's extraordinary performance as a key player in a memorable Cardinal season.
