legends.
I only want 3 things for the rest of the MLB season:
▫️ Paul Goldschmidt to win the NL Triple Crown
▫️ Albert Pujols to reach 700 HR
▫️
#STLCards
win World Series
Not too much to ask, honestly.
Paul DeJong has more HR’s than Trea Turner
Paul DeJong has more HR’s than Carlos Correa
Paul DeJong has more HR’s than Xander Bogaerts
Paul DeJong has more HR’s than Dansby Swanson
Only the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have a higher attendance total than the St. Louis Cardinals.

New York City: 8,622,698
Los Angeles: 3,976,622
St. Louis: 308,826
Incredible.
In the past decade, only 4 players under 21 years old have made the Opening Day lineup:
▫️Juan Soto in 2019
▫️Fernando Tatis Jr in 2019
▫️Manny Machado in 2013
▫️Bryce Harper in 2013
Tomorrow, Jordan Walker will join this list.
Paul Goldschmidt + Nolan Arenado: 614 HR over 11,195 AB’s
Albert Pujols: 703 HR over 11,421 AB’s
We’ll probably never see another player like Albert Pujols.

Sources: Nets‘ Spencer Dinwiddie is acquiring a Nigerian passport to play for the Nigeria national team. Dinwiddie didn’t receive Team USA Olympic invite; now joins Nigeria roster under Mike Bown that includes Al-Farouq Aminu, Josh Okogie, Chimezie Metu, Ekpe Udoh.
42 year old Albert Pujols would lead 5 different MLB franchises in HR’s
▫️Chicago White Sox
▫️Detroit Tigers
▫️Cincinnati Reds
▫️Washington Nationals
▫️Miami Marlins
Mike Matheny got fired at 47-46 & had this lineup to work with:
Carpenter 1B
Wong 2B
Molina C
Ozuna LF
Gyorko 3B
Fowler RF
DeJong SS
Pham CF
The things I’d do to be 47-46 by mid July….
After tonight, only 4 regular season home games remain for Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and Adam Wainwright.
I’m absolutely not ready for this era to end.

The St. Louis Rams were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. Stan Kroenke did not have to move this team. National Football League and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one.
The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.
