The 1967 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 86th season in St. Louis, Missouri, its 76th season in the National League, and its first full season at Busch Memorial Stadium. Gussie Busch hired former outfielder Stan Musial as general manager before the season. Featuring four future Hall of Famers in Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, and Orlando Cepeda, "El Birdos" went 101–60 during the season and won the NL pennant by 10+1⁄2 games over the San Francisco Giants. They went on to win the World Series in seven games over the Boston Red Sox.
