On September 13, 1951, the New York Giants, on the way to the Miracle at Coogan’s Bluff, were rained out of their getaway game with the Cardinals. The original National League schedule had both teams off the next day, and since this was the Giants’ last visit to St. Louis, an afternoon game was arranged. It sounds routine, but the Cardinals had already scheduled a make up game against the Braves for that night.
