I am sure it will be nice commission for the listing agent, however, I'll bet she will earn every penny. I wonder how she will screen out the curious baseball fans who just want to see it? The way the Cardinals monetize everything, I am surprised they haven't figured out a way to charge for tours. I bet she will certainly require some proof of an ability to buy before allowing thousands of …   more ›

Stan "The Man" Musial: Thanks for the Millions of Memories

The greatest Cardinal of them all has now passed on to the ages.

You just knew at age 92, and in failing health this day would finally come--Stan “The Man” Musial would depart this earth and head for his next journey with an All-Star team in Heaven. His wife of more than a half century Lillian “Lil” passed away last year and there was precious little more to live for. Musial had rounded third, and headed home so many times in a 22-year Major League career, the count was almost endless. Having lost he ability to stand on his own and really take any more steps, Stan used to laugh and say “I guess I just legged out too many triples in my career.” Mostly, it was four-baggers that brought the fans at Sportsmans Park to their collective feet.  5 Dingers in one day  Once, Musial slugged 5 home runs in a double…

Stan 'The Man' Musial Dead At Age 92

The St. Louis Cardinal icon and baseball hall of fame outfielder passed away Saturday night.

Stan Musial, a giant in the St. Louis community and the baseball world for more than half a century, died Saturday at his home in Ladue.  "Stan the Man passed peacefully at home at 5:45 pm tonight of natural causes.

Know How Many Mizzou Tigers Are In/Have Played in the NFL?

Tigers have had a strong showing in the NFL, especially since the 1970s.

No doubt, with a 5-7 season, the Mizzou Tigers had a disappointing launch in the Southeast Conference (SEC). The inability to get six wins and earn a birth in a bowl game was painful. Still, the Tigers have had rich and proud heritage, especially when earning post-season recognition and putting players into the National Football League. Presently, the Tigers have three quarterbacks on active rosters: Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville; Brad Smith, Buffalo (QB and wide receiver); and Chase Daniel, New Orleans. Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia, and Denario Alexander, San Diego, have become two premier receivers in the NFL. Sean Weatherspoon, linebacker for Atlanta, is a key member of the Falcons playoff-team defense. Two Tigers are enshrined in the NFL…
