Freakin dudes can't remember wedding anniversaries or birthdays or retirement parties, but you remember games back in '68.

Winning attracts fans. From 1960-1970 the Cards had six winning seasons out of 11. By comparison from Coryell's departure to CKW's 2nd season, a period of 30 years, the Cards had three winning seasons.
So does a city getting a new team.
That's why you see so many who became Cards fans in the '60s, during the Coryell years, and in '88 when the team moved to Arizona. Not so many the rest of the time.
Don't forget the "glory" years of Jim Hanifan. 3 straight winning seasons from 82 through 84. Then 1998, then 2008-2009.
