Same lineup in all 3 games of a series for fist time since 7/6-7/9 95.
Last time a Larussa managed team used the same lineup 4 straight games: 5/12-5/17 1995 (5 straight).
8/13 makes four, I wonder if Tony is going for a personal record?

Can we do this whole gold-lineup thing more often?

That really is amazing to think about. Is there a way to find out how often other teams do it?

Oddly enough, I don't think it's a very well kept secret.

You're the fail to my win?

You mean Tripp Cromer took part in the last instance of this?

And that lineup was:

G. Pena, 2B
A. Battle, LF
B. Jordan, RF
R. Lankford, CF
S. Cooper, 3B
J. Mabry, 1B
T. Cromer, SS
T. Pagnozzi, C
Pitchers (M. Petkovsek, D. Jackson, A. Watson, K. Hill)

>While Albert Pujols batting, This Signature picked off second. Three out.

First time?

LaRussa didn’t become the Cards coach until 1996. That means this is his first time in 14 years? I almost don’t believe it, but then again, it is Tony…
