Giants fan here and I agree with you completely. Matheny would be snatched up by another team quickly. First class baseball mind there always. Even after a great career ended by concussions.
STL fans are spoiled... They have had guys like Schoendist (sp?), Herzog, Torre, LaRussa. All legends.
Versus me, who has had to endure Jimy Williams, and Cecil Cooper just within the past 10 years.
