Down The Road From Discgraced Astros In Florida, Cardinals Exude Integrity

Paul Goldschmidt Was In The Stands As Astros Fan For Albert Pujols' Legendary Home Run Off Brad Lidge

You don't have to explain to Paul Goldschmidt why fans can get so caught up in a baseball game. He was once one of those distraught and irrationally angry fans at a baseball game that didn't end the way he wanted.

Cardinals Introduce Paul Goldschmidt

He was a high schooler then, standing alongside some buddies in center field as the city of Houston simmered toward an eruption. Paul Goldschmidt's beloved Houston Astros were one out away from advancing to the World Series for the first time.

With fanfare last reserved for a switch-hitting center fielder the Cardinals hoped would rewrite and recharge the top of their lineup, officials Friday introduced the thunder-packed first baseman they feel will revitalize the middle of the order and return them to October.

Most of the buzz about new Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is about his Silver slugging. He has won four such awards, including the past two seasons.

Don't Worry About The Future. Paul Goldschmidt Is A Cardinal For 2019. Be Happy.

When the Cardinals acquired Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, I couldn’t help but think of Albert Pujols. The Cards haven’t had a talent of Pujols’ caliber since he left as a free agent in the winter of 2011, weeks after the team had won its 11th World Series title.

A Quick Albert Pujols Story

I was on my way to San Diego to cover the St. Louis Cardinals' playoff workout before Game 3 of the 2005 NLDS, but my flight was delayed. This was not good, especially since I needed a featured interview to run during my special from the booth that night.

Jason Insringhausen, Brad Lidge Rejuvenated Careers In Bullpen

In 2000, the Oakland A's made 27-year-old Jason Isringhausen their closer. Four years later, the Houston Astros made 27-year-old Brad Lidge their closer. Up to that point, both pitchers had sketchy baseball careers. Both had been wrecked by injuries. Both had been tried as starters and, for various reasons, it didn't work out.

Cardinals Narrow Focus On Potential Pitching Coach Hires

As the Cardinals close in on their preferred targets to coach and coordinate the pitching staff and now look to fill the bench coach role, there is more to their search than adding new faces to the dugout.

Six hundred home runs. It boggles the mind to even look at that number. Only nine players have pulled it off, as it requires immense strength, skill and health in a game that always looks to feast upon you.
