cardinals baseball: a legacy of greatness

at the mechanic's shop the other day, i picked up a new sports illustrated, with the cover story on the st. louis cardinals organization, including old friend jake westbrook (at the end of the row...of their rotation)

the picture on the right...is on the contents page -- a cover from 1968...of that year's cardinals

the surprising thing for me, is the hair on roger maris (the first guy) -- i thought he lost it all, chasing the babe

i only got to read...the first...paragraph or two, but...here's the punch line

“Their 11 championships have been well distributed. No son or daughter of St Louis born since 1902 has reached the age of 25 without having lived through at least one victory parade.”
