| 1932 | The National League fines Cardinal manager Gabby Street for violating the circuit's policy prohibiting talking to spectators. The Redbird skipper's nickname suggests he might be a chatterbox, but he insists the moniker stems from his overuse of the word Gabby, a term used in the South when addressing a black male whose name is unknown. |
| 1977 | The Cardinals snap a three-game losing streak, routing the Cubs at Wrigley Field, 20-3. Redbirds' shortstop Garry Templeton crosses home plate five times, which is a team record. |
| 2003 | The Marlins, on the strength of three homers in the frame, score five times in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game against the Cardinals at six runs apiece. The Fish will lose the Pro Player Stadium contest, 7-6, in 20 innings, making it the longest game in franchise history. |
| 2005 | At Busch Stadium, St. Louis' second baseman Mark Grudzielanek becomes the 16th Cardinal to hit for the cycle and the third to accomplish the rare hitting event at home. The last Redbird to achieve the feat was in 1996 by John Mabry. |
