I respect the Cards.............dont like em but I respect em. One of the oldest teams in the majors & they have ALWAYS been in St. Louis, unlike the Dodgers, Giants, Braves etc. I like that. Our Director of Research is from St.Louis, die hard Cards fan so you can imagine the "discussions" him & I have. I found a bin of Red Birds at a .99 cent store, bought 2 of em. Took a pic of one with my phone & sent it to him, then another pic of the bird on the floor, another of my lab sniffing it, another of my lab systematicaly destroying it & a last pic of red pieces & white stuffing all over. The next morning I walked into his office & tossed him the 2nd bird in mint condition. :laughing7: He still has that damn red bird on his desk. ::)

Baseball was my best sport in little league all the way up through high school and one season of semipro in west Texas. I pitched and played second base. One season I pitched 3 no hitters in a row in Babe Ruth ball. I hit for a .373 and led the high school team in hitting for 4 years. I didn't pitch much in hs but tore the hide off the ball batting. My 15 minutes of fame was when I was 13 little league and hit a homer in the last inning to win the title. I was in the service in West Texas and played semi pro most of one season and then got transferred over seas. That was the nd of my baseball career. I always wanted to play pro ball but just never got the chance, or never took the time to do it. That I regret because I was pretty darn good. So, I have always loved baseball and our local minor league team was a Cards farm club. I got to see all the big guys come to town and play once a year and got a lot of autographes, pictures, etc., that my mom threw away by mistake when I was overseas in the Air Force! My boys were pretty fair players in little league and I coached a couple of seasons and really enjoyed it. Some of my little league players still are around, nearly 40 years old now and still call me coach. I will always be a baseball fan and though some find the games long and boring, I can recognize the strategy behind the game and enjoy the sport even more. Even though a cards fan, my favorite player was Mickey Mantle and in spite of his later life as a drunken bum mostly, I cried when he died. The end. Monty

My grandfather was wooed by the St. Louis Browns and had a decision to make: pitch for the Browns or get married. He chose the latter.
