 Holy Grail, Cardinals and Beer
Holy Grail, Cardinals and Beer
On Wednesday night I had the distinct pleasure of taking part in the St. Louis Cardinals season ticket holders appreciation night. Exactly what does this mean? It meant that my Dad and I along with the rest of our season ticket crew headed over to St. Louis for the night. The entire event was basically a marketing ploy by management to show just how great the Cardinals were

 Bob Gibson + PETCO = ???
Bob Gibson + PETCO = ???

 How Important Are 3000 K’s?
How Important Are 3000 K’s?
I wonder how significant of an achievement this really is when you consider that guys like Gaylord Perry and Phil Niekro, who were not exactly flame throwers, are part of this club? And that it took 51 years for someone (in this case, Bob Gibson) to join Walter Johnson, with 14 more to follow in less time. Should this in any way diminish...
