Congrats to the Cardinals and their fans...
I also mentioned the fans in a previous post.

While we're congratulating the Cards - how about a some recognition for the St Louis fans. It seems to be fairly typical for some fans to nuts and try to burn the city down in response to their team winning the championship. Not so with St. Louis. The police were out of course, just in case - and bored to death from what I've read. St Louis has always had the best fans in Baseball.
Just an interesting tidbit: St. Louis was just voted the #1 most dangerous city in the American, followed closely by Detroit the #2 most dangerous city in America. Apparently this years Series featured the two most violent cities in the country. It's hard to believe that a young fresh-faced version of me (7 year old) used to ride his Schwinn Stingray under the Detroit city lights most summer nights without worry. That was the summer of '69.
Anybody care to speculate on Tiger's off season moves?
Yep, take a look at this article. It's nice to see that Troy and Famington Hills are among the safest.I had NO IDEA that St. Louis was up on top of the list for most dangerous, I wiould have never guessed that, of course the media and TV like to talk about how bad Detroit is, never hear anything about other cities and have NEVER heard St. Louis mentioned.

I moved from Detroit City to Farmington, Farmington Hills, and then West Bloomfield. A great deal of what was then Farmington back in the early 70s was on the outskirts, with much of the development having occured during the late 50s and mid-60s --> just a stones throw from the sticks. I could see corn fields outside my bedroom window when I lived in Farmingtonn Hills and West Bloomfield in the late 70s.
Sidekick, the only problem with living in Farmington during the 50s and 60s is that Michigan football stuck during the Bump Elliot era.

I bet you guys are glad you did not win now we would have killed all of you!! LOL
have no idea where that came from. we are are like any other big( or semi big) city. we have problems, but never knew it was that bad, and its not.
The Cards rule....for one year anyway. I got a ticket for game 5 on Ebay for $380. Money well spent. I can now say I've been to the series. Anyone else make it there?
I did not, but there are a lot of people here that DID make it to at least one game.
