It was April 18, 1987. This is how Hall of Famer Rick Hummel covered the famous "seat cushion" game at Busch Stadium.
It was October in April on Saturday night at Busch Stadium.
In one of the most bizarre, dramatic baseball games this early in the season, Tom Herr'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.
