'The Wizard' made St. Louis baseball history on this date in 1985

ST. LOUIS- “Go Crazy, folks!”

When people in St. Louis hear those three words, almost everyone of a certain age knows where they were on October 14, 1985, when Ozzie Smith came up to bat down by a run, with the National League Championship Series tied at 2 games apiece. The Cardinals had already fought back after being down in the series 2 games to none.

As we all know, the Cardinals went on to win the next game to reach the World Series.

Smith tweeted Thursday about that day in history.

36 years ago, wow. This clip has been played ALOT in St Louis, so much I feel like I hit 500 in my career. Lol. This was a great moment for me and was made even better having the great #JackBuck on the call. Go Crazy Folks! ❤️ https://t.co/cT64XeT6HC
