At 7 seconds you can see they had temporary seating on the field in Sportsman's Park. The world series wasn't televised until 1947. With no television revenue attendance was where they got revenue. It seems odd today to see temporary seating on the field. The temporary wall extends beyond the dugout

Also a complete view of the play that won the world series when Enos Slaughter scored from first base on a single to left field. I knew a man named Ed Schneider who was at the game and he said the outfielder hesitated. You can see it in the video.

Cards have had some good runs in various decades but I would think the 1940’s would be the best?
4 pennants and 3 titles in 5 years!

Born in 1954.
My Dad grew up in NYC and was a huge Cards fan.
He told great stories of the 1940’s also!

I think the Brooklyn fans gave Musial his nickname "The Man".
