If you’re one of our loyal four readers, you may remember WAAAAAY back in May of 2011, we gave away copy of a St. Louis Cardinals AnyDate newspaper at the generous request by the folks from AnyDate.
Well, if you’ve been with us that long and didn’t win that contest, we (and the generous folks at AnyDate) figure it’s time you got another shot!
From the AnyDate.com website, a description of this cool piece of memorabilia:

Printed on full size 15 x 22 inch newspaper stock, the St. Louis Cardinals History Newspaper comes in a crystal clear acid-free envelope to protect your keepsake.

The beauty of this contest is we’re going to make it quick…entries will be accepted until 8 am CT tomorrow morning (12/24). This means you can still gift this baby for Christmas. No, it won’t get to you miraculously by Christmas morning (unless you’ve got an in with the big guy in the red suit), but if you’re like me you have perfected the “print a photo of what you bought and put it in a nice card to buy you time until the item actually arrives” move, and you can replicate with this beauty.
So the contest then…
There is a particular Cardinal loss that is near and dear to my heart. I’ve written about it several times on this website. It happened in a post-season within the last ten years. The hometown team did not score a single run, and it was the end of their season for that year.
Tell me who batted clean-up that day.
You can post a comment here, send an e-mail, leave a comment on the Facebook post that will inevitably go up with this, or reply on Twitter @PitchersHit8th. Any one of those is a valid entry, multiple correct guesses will go to the randomizer, and we will post the winner tomorrow morning.
Good luck, and thanks to AnyDate!

I realize that I am late on this…but for what it’s worth…are you speaking of the final game of the 2012 NLCS in which Allen Craig batted clean up, going 0-4 to cap off a horrible post season offensively?
I would also like to comment that this site is way better than the other St.Louis Cardinals blogs that I have visited. Some of the others make stupid remarks for shock value. Yous is more pleasant and straight forward. Yours is more fact oriented and less a place for the author to posture him/herself.
This guess is incorrect. And you’re right, too late. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Frank.
Okay, maybe you mean the game 4 of the 2004 World Series in which we were facing the Boston Red Sox. The Cardinals were at home in that one. We lost 3 to 0 . Scott Rolen was batting clean up.
DING DING DING! (But your entry was still late.)
Shall we choose a winner here? (I’m terribly sorry for the delay.)
The correct answer is that Scott Rolen batted cleanup for the Cardinals on October 27, 2004, in a World Series Game 4 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
