Loved ol' Puma when he was a Cardinal. Hated to see him at the plate when he was with the Astros.

Looking ahead to the 1985 season, Whitey Herzog knew he needed pitching. On this date in 1984, the Cardinals traded outfielder George Hendrick to the Pirates in a deal that brought left-hander John Tudor to St. Louis:
