(There was obviously a case for Rogers Hornsby, but being that he played in the time before TV, many folks didn’t bring him to [...]

Today, the Cardinals play in their second straight postseason. Now, if you were reading that sentence about 15 years ago, you’d probably be a bit confused. Just two in a row? What happened? Isn’t it the Cardinals’ birthright to be in October every year? If you were reading that sentence toward the end of the [...]
One of the reasons I came up with the idea of writing every day during the pandemic shortage is because I knew that, if left to my own devices, there would be some lengthy gaps. Kinda like the one between the last post and this. It’s been a couple of weeks and a lot of [...]

Up two. Even. Down two. Even. It seems like the Cardinals can’t get away from the pull that is sea level. They’ve been 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 11-11, 13-13, and now 14-14. By all measures, this is a .500 team. They’ve put together a winning streak, defined as “more than one win [...]
