Adam Parrish Wainwright, the 40-year-old from Brunswick, Georgia, and Yadier Benjamin Molina, the 40-year-old from Bayamón, Puerto Rico, are the GREATEST duo in baseball history and will be both getting fitted for their THIRD Fall Classic rings this autumn! #12in22
Thank You Both Waino and Yadi! It's just amazing that you have been around all this time, truly cemented in the rich history of our St. Louis Cardinals. I must say this though...every chance I get...I personally miss Busch Memorial Stadium SO MUCH! It was "Perfect" for the city, mainly for those uniquie arches around the top. I am forever heartbroken that they felt the need rto tear it down...especially since renovations had been done not long before. Nothing at all against the new one but man....a beautiful stadium with arches right by the beautiful Gateway Arch....why tear it down?? $$$$
@@SqueakyASSfardd The following is from a great article I found... A piece of irreplacable Modernism swept away for something new and plastic. It has been called "cookie-cutter" -- but that is because it spawned a string of immitators, in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and elsewhere... and it outlasted them all. It was tied to its place and time, with the archways of its overhang intentionally emulating the Gateway Arch which was nearing completion at the time. That same overhang made sitting within the stadium a dizzying, exhilerating experience: the same thin-shell concrete ring that hovered over your head swept around the field and encompassed every other fan as well, making the enormous space somehow united. It was a structure that defied its own size. It was crisp. It was pure. It was functional, and though its exterior was cluttered with accessory constructs and perhaps a chaotic jumble of ramps and columns, I daresay it was beautiful. The stadium was demolished so that ticket prices could be raised (since "new" is automatically equated to "better"), and because maintenance was becoming expensive. Could it have been saved? "If we had just chosen to stay here indefinitely, Busch Stadium was going to require a huge capital infusion just to keep it the way it is," Bill DeWitt III, the Cardinals' senior vice president for development, was quoted. Money was the issue? Oh, come on. Let's call a spade a spade. How could the costs of renovation -- even a full-scale one -- even come close to demolition and construction of an entire new stadium? It's a kind of old that investors and developers loathe, and opt to demolish whenever possible. It's a trend that needs to stop if anything is going to remain of Modernism's legacy.
I love these special introductions @ Busch Stadium. What a First Class Team and Organization. Thank you Cardinals Alumni for so much fun and special Memories that are Dear to our Hearts. We Love you too ❣️👏👏👏 Praying for good Health to you all. Ozzie Smith is in terrific shape and I 'd like to know his secret formula for anti Aging. 😉
If you've ever met Ozzie Smith like I have, it's easy to see how Humble, Kind and Gracious he is. It makes my Smile to see him moving around like a 40 year old. I love Ozzie and miss Lou too.
Congratulations to Matt Holiday!!! And Ozzy Smith is my All time favorite. # 1 always. But we have many good players this year. Go Cardinals go get # 12....
