Back in the late '60s, the St. Louis Cardinals had some darn good starting rotations. Those were the days when Bob Gibson was at his peak, and there was also a promising young lefty named Steve Carlton.
But the starting rotation the Cardinals have this year? It might actually be just as good.
No, really. Being dead serious here. Today's Cardinals may not have two pitchers as great as Gibson or Seaver, but we're watching them prove that four really good pitchers and a catcher who's really good at handling pitchers can be just as good.
