Pft....Whitey ball?
Try Musial or even the Gashouse Gang.
The 2004 St. Louis Cardinals would've MAULED any of Whitey's teams. I will always be bitter as hell that they didn't win a championship. That was unquestionably the best team in the sport and just got wrecked by the vagaries of short series baseball. 2006 was the baseball Gods doing us a solid and making up for screwing us two years prior.
2005 was undone by Mark Mulder quitting because of a bad break in an elimination game. I attended that game and I've never seen a pitcher visibly give up the way he did after that call at 2b and a simple seeing eye grounder. He just decided he'd had enough of that particular pitchers duel and was going to groove pitches the rest of the day. His body language was absolute shit.
**** you, Mark Bellhorn. **** you as well, Mark Mulder.
