And, the story goes, Alexander had celebrated well into the night, wholly confident (and why not?) that his aging right arm wouldn't get another workout until the spring of 1927.
Alexander was in the twilight of his career and had been obtained by the Cardinals on waivers from the Chicago Cubs in June.
Alexander's four one-hitters in 1915 and his 16 shutouts in '16 are still major league highs.

In 1997 renovation commenced, and the refurbished stadium was officially inaugurated on the 13th of May at a ceremony presided by Crown Prince Willem Alexander.
The stadium was restored to its original 1928 form; the outer ring was removed, as was a bicycle track around the perimeter of the field.
To reinvigorate the stadium, Stigt and his colleagues bestowed economic self-sustenance upon it by creating commercial office space under the tribunes, in the so-called “catacombs”, space which had been previously left to spiders and scattered with empty plastic beakers.

 The Seattle Times: Sports: Holmgren wrong to deny Alexander his stat crown
There is irony in the way the coach appears to hold Alexander at a distance while trying to embrace his disaster of a 2001 first-round pick — Koren Robinson — who appears to be getting yet another chance next week despite Robinson's third benching for disciplinary reasons by the team in two years.
And in his mind he probably felt he was justified in keeping Alexander a yard short — good enough for everyone to know he had a great season, but just inches from the thing he wanted most.
Alexander's friend, Heath Evans, was counting the yards on the sideline.
