I read Buzz Bissinger's mostly bad book on LaRussa and there was an interesting section where one of the Cardinals got hit so LaRussa reviewed their lineup to find an equivalent player and did the same. I'm not sure, and I know he doesn't live in the St. Louis area, but I thought I saw Buzz in the box seats during this game.
