Herzog suffers minor stroke at his golf tourney

Cardinals Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, who will be 88 in November, suffered what was termed a “minor stroke” Monday during his charity golf tournament at Forest Hills Golf Club. A Cardinals statement said that the family “wanted to let everyone know that he has received treatment and is currently resting and doing well.”

The statement also said that the family was “very appreciative of the caring support that everyone has shown them.”

Also nicknamed "the White Rat," Herzog managed the Cardinals from 1980-90, winning National League championships in 1982, 1985 and 1987 and the World Series in 1982 with a daring brand of baseball that emphasized speed, defense and tight pitching.
