Cardinals
Gotta say........today has been a GREAT day! You ask why and I say BECAUSE MY CARDINALS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES!! SHOUAAA! See, the first 10 years of my life I spent growing up in Memphis, and it is a HUGE Cardinal town. Tim McCarver is from Memphis and he had that town in his palm. Also remember that in the early 60's there were NO other Major League baseball teams in the South. The Cards were the ONLY team us southern folk could call "ours". I remember going to my first game in 1964, at old "Sportsmen Park". It was against the Cubs....so I saw Ernie Banks, Don Kessinger along with all my Cardinal heroes.......Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, McCarver, Curt Flood, one of the Boyer brothers and many more. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven, cept for one thing. I had NEVER been around beer or alcohol before, and I just knew if God came back that night I was going straight to Hell.....I was going to be guilty by association. The Schlitz and Fallstaff was flowing, and I was in shock. I remember hoping that my mom and dad wouldn't find out that I was hanging out with this crowd, because I just knew they would be upset with me! And by crowd I mean the WHOLE stadium! :) But I can remember how full of color everything was. I was used to watching baseball on a black and white TV. The scoreboard looked HUGE, and they had a net out in the outfield to catch foul balls. I still have the ticket stub, and wouldn't sell it for the world. Life didn't get much better for a young kid in 1964!
So, I hope my Cardinals win it ALL! If they do lose, I am glad it is to the Red Sox.
They are my newly acquired heroes in that they defeated the Evil Empire! :) Was that not UNBELIEVABLE? You gotta tip your hat to em, coming from being down 3 games to none.......and doing it on the road in Yankee stadium! It may be their year. If so, I am glad the Cardinals can be a part of it.
Is baseball great or what?
