Garry Templeton’s outburst at the crowd in 1981 was followed by Whitey Herzog pulling him off the field, and secured his ticket out of town.

Whitey traded him for a young shortstop named Ozzie Smith.IMG_3769.jpeg

Templeton was a great hitter. But Ozzie basically became the most popular Cardinal after Stan Musial, so that was quite a good trade for them.
