Missouri Originally, Missouri was scheduled to host this game at
Busch Memorial Stadium in
St. Louis, but the
St. Louis Cardinals forced the game to be moved to the
University of Missouri campus because they anticipated hosting Game 6 of the
World Series. As it turned out, the
Cardinals finished a
distant fourth place in the
National League East, 13 games behind the
Pittsburgh Pirates, and were below .500 from July 1 through the end of the season.
