I was cleaning out my office today and found this beauty in my closet.
Here is the back story....
Me and 5 of my closest Cardinal worshippers were inside of a tightly packed sports bar in St. Charles during Game 7 of the NLCS in 2006.
Endy robs Rolen and Yadi Homers. I saw the looks on the faces of the folks at Shea that evening, and could relate to such emotion.
Beltran - the Cardinals killer walks to the plate with men on and a slim defecit. Wainwright, the closer by proxy tosses the nastiest curve ball in postseason history.
5 guys...all over 200 pounds simultaneousley lunge forward in elation. Budweiser products and toasted ravioli are dispersed onto the neighboring tables...because our table was absolutely trashed. We blew all four legs off of that sucker. Throughout the bar, Cardinals fans have erupted into what could only be decribed as euphoria, elation and disbelief.
Inside of a small pocket of reality, our waitress advised us to vacate the premises quickly - before being forcefully removed by the owner/boucers. as I was leaving, she stopped me, and picked up this beauty and told me to take it as a memento of my last visit to Side Pockets.
Before the outcry of inappropriate drunken behavior - I must let you know that not one of us had too much to drink. The excitement of that evening was enough to keep five people high...just a freak accident and an awesome story.
