A crowd of only 3,380, the smallest since Busch Memorial opened May 12, 1966, turned out for a 12:30 p.m, "businessmen's special" and saw Al Santorini pitch the Cardinals to a 4-0 victory over the Mets in their final home game of the season. Ken Reitz, Redbird rookie third baseman, hit a pair of RBI singles.
