Cardinals - Red Sox? Again? Yikes! Now I have a problem. I've liked the Cards for a long time, second only to the Dodgers in the National League. I remember Bob Gibson pitching for them against Koufax and Drysdale, and Gibby against the Tigers in the 1968 World Series. They've had some memorable ballplayers, going back to the Gashouse Gang in 1934. Pepper Martin, Dizzy and Paul Dean, Ducky Medwick, and Leo "The Lip" Durocher all played for that team. Later they had notables like Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter (pace, Red Sox fans!), Ozzie Smith, Lou Brock, Curt Flood and Mark McGwire. Their games on KMOX made the entire Midwest Cardinal fans long before there were any teams west of the Mississippi.
But then there's the Red Sox, sentimental favorites of an entire region as well. More names: Williams, DiMaggio, Yaz, Fisk, Pesky, Rice, Freddy Lynn, and Luis Tiant. I've read too much Roger Angell; I feel like the Sox are sort of my American League team.
What to do, what to do.
