A prayer to the Kile family, who have lost far more than even the Cardinals, who are too classy an organisation to have to lose a beloved broadcaster and a good pitcher in less than five days. Here's hoping their class continues to include (as I've known them to do in the past) looking out for the Kile family, whose loss of a husband and father is far more important than their loss of a pitcher.

For me, I feel like there's one less class act in baseball. Darryl Kile, from what I knew of him, was a competitor and a gentleman, the kind of guy who would pay just as much attention to the lowest man on the roster as the highest; the kind who'd pitch you tight when he needed but buy you a drink after the game. No prospective Hall of Famer, he, but don't let anyone tell you he was anything less than major league all the way.
