Don Haynes, the team’s leader, recalled the cohesive attributes that identified the Cardinal club both on and off the field: HarryBarber’s blazing fastball; Cord Eckardfs power- ful bat; Ross Madill's accurate throws; Ted Suzuki’s basepath speed; Lynn Taylor’s pivotal turns; John Little's flawless glove and Bob Stover’s steady- ing influence.
