Houston Astros VS St.Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium October 7, 2001

The Astros and the Cardinals were tied for first place in the NL Central. This game would determine the winner of the division and the NL wild card spot.

SS Adam Everett had been called up in September and is already a ham for the camera.
