I’m probably older than you. We used to go back to IL every summer to see our relatives. Went to a few Cardinals games in the late fifties and early sixties. My brother and I are 4th generation (at least!) Cardinals fans.
Nice.
I’m a Braves fan first.
But, when they’re not in it, I root for the Cards all the way.
My brother loved Pujols.
As a teen, that same brother almost got mobbed when he tried to hang a St. Louis Cardinal football banner up in the Washington Redskins Stadium(mid to late 70s). My dad quickly told him to abort the mission. Dad was in no mood to try to fight off a crowd.
