Can anyone clarify this reference for me?  First of all, it was
Kansas City that won that series (and the Cardinals that lost), and I
suspect Buck was enough of a homer [in the 'subjective', not
'four-bagger' sense] not to have exulted quite that jubilantly at the
result.  Second, the series-deciding 7th game was something like 9-0
(Saberhagen pitching the shutout), so there was no 'game and series
winning home run'.  Perhaps the playoffs (NLCS) preceding the series,
when the Cards beat the Dodgers on Jack Clark's homer, IIRC?
