Another lifelong Cardinals fan until MLB went woke.
Bob Gibson is one of the all time great pitchers...but “Stan the Man” is THE most underrated HoF great.
Although I’m right-handed, I learned to bat left-handed like my baseball idol...and eventually learned to play golf left-handed but tennis right-handed,
It would be interesting to see an alternative universe where Musial was a Yankee and DiMaggio was a Cardinal. How big of a legend Musial would have been playing in New York and if it would have dampened DiMaggio’s fame playing in St. Louis.
Not to make this into a political post, but I despise baseball for taking away a great American institution that my father and I got to enjoy but my children will not. It’s hard not to turn on the radio at night and listen to Mike Shannon calling games, but they brought this on themselves.
I left out that one of Harry Carey’s first broadcast partners was Gabby Street. That was back in the days when sportscasters were employed by breweries.
