For more than two weeks of the strangest season in major league history, the St. Louis Cardinals disappeared. “When you spend 17 days without playing, sometimes you think that way,” said Yadier Molina, the longtime St. Louis catcher. I’m thankful that we got back to normal.”Normal is relative these days, of course, but on Sunday the Cardinals wound up where they usually do: in the postseason for the 14th time in the 2000s. The Cardinals had 18 positive Covid-19 cases in their traveling party during the outbreak, which started in late July. They would have played another in Detroit on Monday if it had bearing on the playoffs.
