Great read. Thank you.

I remember that game vividly. It was a Sunday afternoon game. I was a sophomore at University of Missouri Rolla and had just left home to drive back to Rolla for the week. Listening to Mike Shannon go nuts on the broadcast made my drive back to UMR a lot more fun. I think ol’ Moon Man Mike wanted to get down to the field and mix it up with the combatants. Then afterward, he would have had a cold frosty Budweiser. Heh heh heh.

Heh, heh, heh, indeed!
You just can’t beat fun at the old ballpark!

“Foul pop up over into the stands, and it lands in that lady’s Busch.

…and by that, I mean her beer. And a cold frosty one would taste real good right now. Ahhhhh.”

Can you imagine how the guys in the producer’s booth responded to all those Shannonisms?!?!

I still maintain that the Cards should retire #18 in honor of Thomas Michael Shannon, native St. Louisan, devoted Cardinal, 2 WS champ, selflessly moved to 3B to accommodate Roger Maris in RF, loyal Bleed Red Card broadcaster. A member of the Cardinals organization for over 60 years.

(bleep), Dewitt. Make it happen you putz.

Amen! Where’s the helmet sticker button on this forum?

On this date in 1998, Mark McGwire hit two more home runs to finish the season with 70. Yes, he later admitted to taking steroids, but that’s still 50 more than anyone on this year’s team!

95 years ago today, Dizzy Dean made his MLB debut. When the mayor of St. Louis, who was at the game, asked about the rookie, manager Gabby Street told him, “Mr. Mayor, I think he’s going to be a great pitcher, but I’m afraid we’ll never know from one minute to the next what he’s going to do.”

I didn't look up the exact quote, but in a post-game interview Ducky said it wasn't the commissioner's ejection which surprised him, but that the Tigers fans brought all that stuff to the ballpark to begin with. Depression-era baseball was awesome.
