My question to you Jazzman is have you ever been to Busch for a Cubs vs. Cardinals game? I personaly have been to many games there and have gone through the "in your face crap" that their "knowledgeable and respectful fans" hand out.
Even though it's beside the point and not an avenue I want to go down with you, it's really kind of bizarre what has happened to Cards fans over the past 10 years or so. I'd been to many games throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and each was enjoyable with good-humored smack talk, knowledgeable fans for the most part, and friendly people.
My last trip there, I almost felt embarrassed to be a baseball fan. And I don't know what accounts for the change...maybe it's the beechwood aging.
Nevertheless, personalities, pasts, futures, rivalries -- all of it -- doesn't amount to a hill of beans with me if we bring home a ring in October. With or without Edmunds.
