St. Louis Cardinals in The Man With the Iron Heart
At a checkpoint in the Alps, Bernie Cobb was asked to identify the 1944 American League champions. He correctly identified the St. Louis Brown. A comrade of his answered the follow-up question, "Did they win the Series?", by saying that they lost to their crosstown rival, the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. Cobb corrected the man by saying that the Cards won in six.
