Hall of Famer slugger Stan Musial took over as general manager before the season and would become the first GM in history to win a pennant and World Series in his first year on the job. In one of his first moves, Musial acquired Yankees slugger Roger Maris and asked third baseman Mike Shannon to move from right field to third base, a move that solidified the batting order and field a defense that would prove to be second to none. The Cardinals had All-Stars at every position and built a defense with superior strength up the middle - catcher Tim McCarver, a double play combination of Dal Maxville and Julian Javier, and one of the finest center fielders in Curt Flood. The Cardinals were unstoppable.
