It should be pointed out that Montreal won the division that year by
only  * 1/2 *  game over the Cardinals.  The decision was made to only
count the remaining games after the strike and to disregard all previous
games.  I do not not recall whether the Cardinals lost one more game
or Montreal won one more.  However, at the beginning of the strike,
the Cards were leading the division by about two games.
