The Cardinals organization has never paid that price tag for a player in the history of the ball club. However, Matt Holliday proved he was worth the price last season.The Cardinals were better than mediocre before the All-Star break. They were leading the division by a game or two. Then after the break Matt Holliday walks in as Left Fielder and Albert Pujols defense. Oh My Golly what happened next will go down in Cardinals history books.
We stormed thru the rest of the season. The one/two punch of Pujols and Holliday in addition to a healthy and lethal pitching staff made the Redbirds invincible.
In true fan fashion I have chosen to forget what happened when the play-0ffs started. I choose to believe that they did not go to the World Series as a favor to me. It was very difficult to watch the games and deal with the stuff going on with Mom.
A trip to St. Louis this summer has already been placed in the planning stage.
Long days and pleasant nights
