The Gambler's Hand in Shutting down the Cardinals
Apparently, Kenny "The Gambler" Rogers had some substance on his hand during the first inning of Game Two of the World Series. If it was a foreign, illegal substance he should have been tossed from the game. He was asked to wash his hands (and perhaps brush his teeth?) before the second inning. Whatever it was, it didn't appear to give him an advantage, as he held yet another team scoreless for eight innings.
Was it illegal? I don't know. All I know is that The Gambler shut down the Cards.

Yes he did. I am a little suspect of the McCarver/Buck link to the Cards in pointing this out, but hey, LaRussa chose not to have it checked. And he pitched better after washing his hands. The lesson here?
Hygiene matters.
I have never been a huge LaRussa fan. I like Joe Buck (can you say "Swing and a miss" [reference to a Holiday Inn commercial]). Not a McCarver fan either.
And remember to wash your hands.
