A sad day for Cardinal Nation. We all knew the day would come, but we’re ❤️broken. We’ve lost Whitey. We Loved and Adored the “White Rat”. Whitey touched many lives as a Father, Husband, Coach, Mentor, and Friend. My Life was changed because of him. May he rest in Peace.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday shout outs! I got to spend the day on the golf course here in STL with 70 degree weather. That was a great gift!
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a prosperous 2020!

Very saddened to hear we lost our friend Rick Hummel last weekend. Such an over all good guy who, in his work as our beat writer for many years, was professional, honest, and always fair. We will miss you and your writing Commish. God bless you & your loved ones at this sad time
Thank you everyone for all the great Birthday wishes and the comments about the memories made during my baseball career. I had a great birthday with my family and friends.
To quote one of the greatest baseball players ever: Defense to me is the key to playing baseball. - Willie Mays. Congratulations to all of the best in the Field. Very deserving.

His answer: Relays.

Joe Morgan was an inspiration to all. To little guys who had to prove their worth by going out and playing at a level that surpassed expectations. He certainly was an inspiration to me. May he Rest In Peace.
