On April 17, 1985, the Cardinals made a roster move that left them with such an abundance of outfield talent (with Willie McGee, Andy Van Slyke and others), that they moved Jack Clark to first base.
Here's how we covered the move.
Vince Coleman is fast. His 101 stolen bases at Louisville proved it.
But on Wednesday, believe it or not, the U.S. Mail was faster.
The Cardinals, suddenly hit by a flurry of minor injuries, called up Coleman from the Class AAA Louisville Redbirds.
When Coleman got to his locker C" stall to dress for the game with the Montreal Expos, he had mail waiting.
