Their stats just don't come close in any previous season. It's too early to tell whether or not Vince Coleman's season was a career year. He'll probably hold the playoff record for "most times eaten by automatic tarpaulin roller" for some time to come :-). Oh, yeah, Danny Cox, Jeff Lahti, and Ken Dayley all had career years, too.

Just watch. Who cares if the Cards' players all had career years or not? They still won the NL East, the NL Championship and are 2 games away from winning it all. Something 25 other teams in the Majors wish they could do if only once. Let's go Mets, oops sorry that's for next year. Let's go Cards. Joseph M. Dakes AT&T Bell Laboratories Reading, PA rduxb!jmd
