As the New York Mets return to Busch Stadium, we look back at the game on April 18, 1987, seat cushion night. This is how Hall of Famer Rick Hummel covered the game.
In one of the most bizarre, dramatic baseball games this early in the season, Tom Heir's first career grand slam gave the Cardinals a 12-8 victory over the New York Mets in 10 innings.
Fans sent seat cushions sailing onto the field, and drivers honked horns in the streets as though if the Cardinals had won their 100th game rather than their sixth.
