This Day in Sports History: 10/1/1944. #StLouisBrowns Chet Laabs had 2 HR, 4 RBI as #Browns beat #Yankees & won their only Pennant in their 52-year history. They'd lose the #WorldSeries to crosstown rival #STLCardinals in 6 games. In 1954, they relocated to Baltimore & became #Orioles. ⚾️ #ForTheLou

The playoff road is steep, but these young Cardinals aren't mailing it in. Báez and Bernal showed out in a 7-3 win. Keep playing the kids and keep fighting. #STLCards #ForTheLou

Forget the standings for a minute—THIS is what I want to see. Baez and Bernal combined for 6 hits and 4 RBI as the Cardinals won 7-3. Let the young Cards cook! #STLCards #ForTheLou

The kids showed up at Busch! Báez and Bernal combined for 6 hits and 4 RBIs as the Cardinals beat Chicago 7-3. STL needed that one badly. #STLCards #ForTheLou

NOW we're talking! Cardinals putting runs on the board and leading Chicago 7-2. After that rough trip out West, STL needed a night like this. #STLCards #ForTheLou

That 6-1 lead disappearing in San Francisco hurt BAD. Now STL comes home 72-75 and 6.5 games from October. No more scoreboard watching. Start stacking W's. #STLCards #ForTheLou

A 6-1 lead disappeared, the Giants completed the sweep, and STL is now 6½ games from the final Wild Card. The door isn't shut, but it's getting heavy. #STLCards #ForTheLou

Six games back. Sixteen left. The Cardinals don't need scoreboard watching right now—they need WINS. Avoid the sweep today and give September something to fight for. #STLCards #ForTheLou

Arizona keeps winning. San Diego keeps pushing. The Cardinals are 5 games out with the calendar running short. Tonight isn't just another game. STL needs wins NOW. #STLCards #ForTheLou
