Paper route money. How funny that he had his best hitting season in the year of the pitcher. Maybe because he was the only NL shortstop who didn't have to face Gibson and his 1.12 ERA. So funny that his offensive WAR doubled his defensive WAR that season (2.7 total, 2.4 O, 1.2 D). Maxvill played all seven games and never got a hit in that '68 series.
I loved the Cards, loved Brock, Gibson, Flood, McCarver. I stayed a Cards fan until the McGwire era because they became just another slugging team. Up til then it was pitching, defense, and speed, speed, marvelous speed, first on grass and later on the artificial turf.
