From Dizzy Dean to Joe Medwick, to Stan Musial to Bob Gibson, from Willie McGee to Albert Pujols, the St. Louis Cardinals have a rich legacy. Their fans love good baseball and for the most part, are the friendliest fans I have come across. Getting there early, we stood above the Cardinal dugout and watched them warm up. No fewer than 7 players and coaches took time to sign autographs and talk to fans. Jon Jay, Ryan Theriot, Dave Duncan, Jake Westbrook, Tony LaRussa, Skip Schumaker and Miguel Batista signed autographs and talked to fans. Miguel Batista spent about 5 minutes signing for a line of kids and talking to everyone that came over. Albert Pujols didn't sign, but said hi to the fans. The only players who blew off the fans were Jamie Garcia and Yadier Molina. Garcia looked at a fan who asked for an autograph and shook his head indicating no, and walked off.
Overall, the Cardinals were wonderful and have a 2 thumbs up from The Casual Fan. A special thanks goes out to @JonJayU for signing for the kids.
