The Royals would have finished 3rd in the NL east. The minor league can thank the tarp at Busch Memorial and a blind umpire for game seven. If this sounds like sour grapes, BINGO!!. I've got the world class definition of a sour grape attitude about an inferior team from an inferior league stealing the Series from my Redbirds. I'll go to my grave KNOWING that the Cards had, have and will continue to have a better team than any in the minor league. Well for all that, congratulations to the team from Kansas City, they never,ever gave up and battled from behind like champions. Brett is just awesome in the clutch. When he's hot he's unstoppable and when he's not he bats .300!! A word about the demented Dominican (Andujar). Personally, I think Whitey fired him up and put him in just to create a scene so Whitey could have a few choice words with that idiot Denkinger. Anyway, time to root for the Illini football team but as always there are only two seasons: the baseball season and the off-season. Till April... ken fortenberry
