Comments on Jim Lindeman Posted by Scott Unes   The Cardinals' first-round choice in the 1983 June draft, the former Bradley University star was a source of right-handed power off Whitey Herzog's bench during the Redbirds' drive to the 1987 National League pennant. When slugger Jack Clark went down in August, Lindeman stepped in at first-base, and finished the season with 8 home runs and 28 RBI in 75 games. During the six-game NLCS victory over the Giants, Lindeman remained in the line-up for the still-injured Clark, hitting a two-run homer in the sixth-inning of game three, which started the Cards on a 6-5 comeback victory at Candlestick Park. He hit .333 in the Cards' seven-game World Series loss to the Twins, where Lindeman faced-off against college teammate Kirby Puckett. His playing time limited in 1988 and 1989, Lindeman hit .209 and .111 respectively, before dividing the next five years in pinch-hitting roles with five teams, including a seven-home run performance in 137 at-bats with the 1994 Mets in his final season.
