from St. Louis Cardinals: Beyond the HOF- Saluting Unsung Heroes · host Thomas and Jon Krost

Who is the most famous peanut farmer from Georgia?  Most likely, your answer is former president Jimmy Carter.   If you're an ardent Cardinal fan, you might come up with Gordon Richardson, the featured Cardinal from the 1964 WS champions.  Gordie was a 25-year-old peanut farmer boy who stood in the way of the Phillies as the Cards grabbed the pennant by winning only one game more than the Phils.  Enjoy listening to how this youngster climbed from the depths of the minor leagues to become a pivotal role player that beat back the Phillies several times late in the '64 season.
