1. Oooh Oooh! (raises hand)
Only player ever to hit a ball (foul) completely out of Busch Stadium.

2. It was 1986
On September 15, 1986, Mike Laga of the St. Louis Cardinals became the first, and to this date the only, baseball player to hit a ball literally out of Busch Stadium. Although the ball was foul, Laga still received a standing ovation from the crowd, thus beginning a love affair between Cardinals fans and standing ovations which continues to this day.
