36 years ago today, Glenn Brummer stole home. Here's the story behind the story

Hernandez was as overcome as everyone else in Busch Stadium Sunday and that covers 46,827 paying spectators, both managers, the third-base coach and all the other players on both teams when Glenn Brummer stole home with two outs and two strikes on David Green, giving the Cardinals a 5-4 victory in 12 innings over the San Francisco Giants.

Brummer's second stolen base of the season, after the Cardinals had loaded the bases on his hit, one by Willie McGee (his fourth) and Ozzle Smith's infield chopper, was the dessert for a 4-hour 1-minute main course as the Cardinals remained two games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League's Eastern Division.
