Back in 2005, Cardinals instructor George Kissell, widely regarded as one of the authors of what manager Tony La Russa refers to as the “Cardinal Way,” returned after a year’s absence to Jupiter for his 65th spring training. No Cardinal has been a Cardinal longer nor guided and nurtured as many Cardinals as Kissell, and upon his return the Cardinals wanted to honor him for his service.
