 By April, the catching depth chart for St. Louis was no longer set in stone.Hal Smith was in an extended slump during the Cardinals spring training, so Landrith was the opening day starting catcher on April 15 against the Chicago Cubs in a 4-0 defeat.After batting .125 in his first three games, Hal Smith and Ray Katt alternated starting at catcher through May 11 before Smith finally began to work his way out of his hitting funk and once again became the team's number one catcher.
