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…

Ladue has served as home-base for Cardinals greats down through the ages.
Very best of luck to our beloved Cardinals. Half of Ladue will be in the stands. These are the folks who own the best seats in the house.

The banker, turned team owner, alongside his lifetime pals Bill DeWitt, Jr. and Fred Hanser will be looking from above at his position at first base on the diamond located behind the Pearly Gates tonight.

According to Carl Winters, co-owner of Molly Darcys, corned beef and cabbage is not an authentic dish from Ireland. “Corned beef and cabbage isn’t known in Ireland. It really started in America when the Irish were living in a community in Lower Manhattan. They were tied to the Italian and Jewish communities so when they couldn’t get their Irish ham, they used Jewish corned beef.” Nevertheless, if you have a craving for this customary dish you will have no problem finding it today along with other traditional Irish dishes. Patch Picks found three restaurants in Ladue-Frontenac and two in Clayton that are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Lester’s Sports Bar & Grill, 9906 Clayton Rd., Ladue, (314) 994-0055 Food Specials: Corned beef, cabbage …
