Coming off the epic seven-game World Series victory of the Boston Red Sox, the St. Louis Cardinals picked right up where they left off in 1968 as they stormed through the National League with a 97-65 record and a World Series matchup with the Detroit Tigers. Unlike the previous World Series, the Cardinals lost a seven-game series with Detroit and the 1968 team was the last Cardinal team to reach the post-season until the red-birds won the World Series in 1982.
