I knew a hand full of Cardinal players including Lou Brock as a baseball fan looking at St Louis from the outside

What I quickly came to know was the love that the Redbird fans had for "their" players.

All Cardinals get some love, but some Cardinals get all the love.

Mr. Lou was one of the all the love guys. The upper reaches were Stan Musial, Red Schoendist, Bob Gibson and Lou.

Stan was 1st and there was a 3 way tie for second. Since i arrived I've come to know these and love guys and now I'm watching them leave.

RIP Lou
