What I Miss About Sports Today - References To Cardinals History During Games

I miss the daily doses of nostalgia. They were reliable and refreshing. Watching a game, listening to a game, going to game, covering a game, every experience includes little links to St. Louis’ past. Casual references to players who once played. Instant analysis of a play by comparing it to a famous play. Looking at looks – from locks to socks – that remind us of how previous Cardinals looked.

The Easter Weekend With Seat Cushion Night

Easter always takes me back to 1987. The Cardinals and the Mets were the best rivalry in baseball then, and early in the year, in the fourth series of the year, the Mets made their way to STL for the Easter weekend. It was a cool Saturday night, and Busch Stadium was packed for seat cushion night. The Cardinals had won the NL East in 1985 in a tense battle with the Mets, and New York and run away and hid in their championship season of 1986.

New Documentary On 1980's Cardinals Is As Fun As They Were

The first baseball team you follow as a kid, the first one you truly dedicate yourself to obsessing over every day for six months of the year, can set the tone for the rest of your baseball fandom moving forward. Baseball just means more to you when you’re a kid: Every pitch seems like the most important pitch ever thrown, every win is glorious, every loss is tragic, all the players are 15 feet tall. You can never quite recreate the rush of that first team you truly love, that first time you feel so connected to it, to its fans, to its ebbs and flows, to something larger than yourself. It sticks with you forever.

Tommy Herr says players from the 1980s would have adapted just fine to today's power-intensive game because of the smaller ballparks: "Balls that I hit in the gap over at old Busch Stadium would have been home runs in some other ballparks.” #STLCards pic.twitter.com/0pyC3JKmG5
