The Cardinals remember 1982 while opening a new season without restrictions [View all]
The Cardinals are marking Thursday's opening day by honoring one of the franchise's landmark seasons. It's the 40th anniversary of the 1982 World Series championship.
That squad knocked off the Milwaukee Brewers in seven games to win the title, and it continues to hold a special place in the hearts of St. Louis baseball fans.
"It seemed like such a fun era of baseball," said Amy Berra, the curator and manager of the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum.
“It was about the team and Whitey under his leadership," she added.
Whitey Herzog was the manager of that team, and a new exhibit at the museum remembers the '82 World Series champs from his perspective. He shares thoughts about each player and how he guided them to baseball's biggest prize.
