Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The St. Louis Cardinals 1978 season was the team's 97th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 87th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 69-93 during the season and finished fifth in the National League East, 21 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies. In late April, the Cardinals fired manager Vern Rapp, who had started at 7-11. He was briefly replaced by coach Jack Krol for two games (1-1) before giving the job on a permanent basis to their former MVP third-baseman Ken Boyer, who went 61-81 the rest of the way.
