^^^^Agreed. I also think steinbrenner raised opposing fans blood pressure when he was around. He was easy to hate.

It must be a midwesterner thing. I've always thought the Cards were one of the class acts of baseball. Being a long-suffering Orioles fan the Yankees were at the top of my list and everyone else's lately it seems. I don't think anyone is as hated as the Yankees are.

In 1996, Anheuser-Busch sold the Cards to a group that included Bob Castellini and the Williams bros. from Cincinnati. In 2005, the Williams bros. and Castellini sold their interests in the Card and bought the Reds. They bought out Walt Jocketty's contract from the Cards in 2007 and brought him in as GM.
The Cards owners and Reds owners are all friends and do collective charity work for both cities.
Few ever hear much about this. So if my Reds aren't in the hunt, I gladly pull for the Cards.
They are both class acts.

Try being a Rangers fan this year. Ouch!

I'm a Ranger fan and I thought this season was rather unique. Everyday there was a NEW team on the field. Kinda like Spring Training.

The only open cubs fan I know is clinically nuts and has 6 restraining orders against him, effectively banning him from attending church.

Oh yeah? Come at me!

As a Giants fan I hope the Cards/Dodgers series goes 5 and every game left is extra innings of high scoring enough to go threw 5+ pitchers each. Cards do OK in odd years I guess.

I don't see the draw of paying to watch men play boy's games.
