It was pretty unlikely that the Cardinals were going to go 19-0 against the Cincinnati Reds this season. The problem is less the loss and the snapping that streak than how that loss came to be.

We’ve spent much of the year revisiting Mark McGwire‘s run at Roger Maris‘s home run record. Besides his muscular body, one of McGwire’s most notable characteristics was his shock of red hair. We might call McGwire Big Red or something of that nature, but there’s someone else that is always going to own the title [...]
