I also remember Piscotty having an horrific outfield. collision while with the Cards. He's classy young player and I was very happy the Cards were willing to trade him so he could be closer to his Mom. I've heard about his recent melanoma although not in as much detail as I'd like to know so as to be confident of his prognosis. To get to be good enough to play pro baseball, pro golf, etc. you have to take a lot of sun exposure along the way. American Academy of Dermatology has worked with MLB to provide skin cancer screenings for players and their families. The PGA and LPGA have also worked to educate their members. I'd hope that the ear location will have allowed someone else to spot Stephen's melanoma early. Spotting your own ear melanoma is tough!
CARDS BEAT A'S 4-2 IN SPITE OF A PUJOLS HR TODAY!
I thought the standing O was a little much. lol
I heard about Piscotty earlier this week.
Might have been on the 18th, which is the day Jack Buck died in 2002 and Darryl Kile won his last game against the Angels before dying in a hotel room in Chicago 17 years ago today.
