Who else?
Bad:
As a lover of symmetry, I had hoped that Johnny Damon, having been the first batter of the season, would oblige me by being the last batter of the season. It is purely incidental that such a result would also have only been possible due to the Cardinals winning the World Series. Sadly, Johnny wasn't interested in symmetry.
Good:
This. And Damon had one of his best seasons, which might encourage other players to go all shaggy. Who wouldn't love to see Albert Pujols with a Damon look?
Toby: This is totally off the subject, but Levi, you might be interested to know that a kid from your hometown, Steven Smith, has just signed to play with Kansas University, where one of his teammates will be A. J. Van Slyke, the son of former Cardinal Andy Van Slyke.
As a Pirate fan, I sure do wish Francisco Cabrerra would have hit that ball to center field in 1992. If so, Van Slyke's throw to the plate would have been on the money, unlike the 7-time MVP's. Mike "Spanky" LaValliere made a superb catch and dive--all in one motion--just to make that play close.
