And it's always fun for me to see a former player I've admired become an integral part of a team after retiring.

Love sharing my absolute delight over Cardinal Nation with others who feel similar. I grew up with the Cardinals as my dad was an avid fan back in the days of Jack Buck and Harry Caray.

I think that's why I enjoy reading books about their lives and getting to 'know' them on and OFF the field.
