RT @STL_daniel: @keithlaw the ESPN affiliate, they do not understand your stance on Ryan Franklin. ( NEITHER DO I !! ) #
@keithlaw Oh his entire career you’re talking about. I thought it was about this years All-Star game or his body of work thru 84 games PLZ! #
@miklasz it’s not that Boston doesn’t need a Closer, it’s just that anyone can be taught to close. #
RT @wrigleyville23: Farney Headed To Kansas City: Ryan Freel is OF, Farney must play IF. Deceptive Speed too!? http://tinyurl.com/lg4o8l #

Is the “real” Chris Duncan playing for the Cardinals or is this an impostor? http://bit.ly/dVuhN #

Just the idea of a match up between Santana and Carp makes me believe that ESPN will lead with the Mark Sanford story over 2 Cy Young winrs #

Dang, Tony LaRussa is tight on @miklasz radio show Could the guy be more uncomfortable with the interview? #101ESPN #tonylarussa #
@miklasz You know better Bernie, I just thought he was VERY defensive at the start…a lot like a post-game loss. #

Happy Birthday Lou Brock!!

Cards Fan — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:52:18 +0000

Yes, on this date, June 18, 1939 Louis Clark Brock was born in El Dorado, Arkansas….and the world was changed.

Well, that might be a bit of a stretch in terms of changing the world, but at the least Lou Brock is responsible for a kid growing up in Northeast Ohio becoming a Cardinals fan even when he had no affiliation with the St. Louis area.

Lou made his MLB debut on September 10, 1961 for the Chicago Cubs.

Lou was traded on June 15, 1964 in what many people call “The Worst Trade Ever” The Chicago Cubs traded Lou Brock, Jack Spring, and Paul Toth to the St. Louis Cardinals for Ernie Broglio, Doug Clemens and Bobby Shantz. As we know Lou Brock went on to have a Hall of Fame Baseball career over the next fifteen years and Ernie Broglio went on to win 7 games over the next 2.5 years.

His final game was was September 30, 1979. In his final season at the age of 40 he was still able to steal 23 bags and hit .304 in 120 games.

Lou was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985.
