| The Rivalry: Cubs v. Cardinals The Cubs and Cardinals have been facing one another for decades. And just like the other two rivalries above who can point at one moment when the rivalry came to a head, the trading of Babe Ruth and the Shot Heard Round the World, the Cubs and Cards point to June 15, 1963. On that fateful day, the Cubs gave up on a young outfielder named Lou Brock and traded him to the Cards for Ernie Broglio. The Cubs, who have been losing since the early 1900s, have not made a World Series since trading Brock. And the Cards have been to six and won three. While the Cubs and Cards are known for being civil during their match-ups, a claim neither the Giants - Dodgers or Yankees - Red Sox can make, the Cubs and Cards still claim some heart wrenching moments. In 1984 the Cubs Ryne Sandberg, who went on to win MVP honors, hit two dramatic home runs in an extra inning classic off the Cards Bruce Sutter. And in 1998, with baseball still reeling from the after effects of the strike, the Cubs Sammy Sosa and the Cards Mark McGuire faced off in a homerun race for the ages. By the end of the season both sluggers had buried Roger Maris' record as McGuire out-slugged Sosa 70 to 66. But it is now that the Cubs and Cardinals are both fielding great teams at the same time. They are led by former Bay Area rivals Tony Larussa and Dusty Baker. In 2003 Baker and the Cubs were just five outs from a World Series appearance. And in 2004 Larussa and the Cardinals won the National League pennant and made it to the World Series. In 2005 the Cards will field a great offensive team that has now added ace pitcher Mark Mulder. The Cards led baseball in victories last year and had three players finish in the top five of MVP voting. The Cubs boast the best rotation in baseball with Mark Prior, Kerry Wood and Greg Maddux. This is sure to be a great season as the rivalry continues. |
