I agree, we don't owe Albert a damn thing.cards2468 wrote:He can have it when they put him in the HoF. The dude just blew us off, why should we be building a shrine to him? You're right, we had no connection with him. This is just where he ended up. He made that obvious. It's just business. If he wanted to build that connection to the city the way Musial did, then yea, the number should be off limits, but this is business. Don't felate the guy.Fan_In_NY wrote:Agreed 100%. Again people don't need to stamp their feet and throw a temper tantrum over it. The guy played for St Louis because they drafted him. All of these ties were based on a 1 in 30 chance that the Cards drafted him. He gave us a toooon of amazing experiences from winning 2 world series, to walk off homeruns, to historic numbers. Him leaving doesnt change how great he made us feel then. Sure looking back on it the memory might be a little different, but in those moments him leaving now changes nothing.To every player outside of high school their jersey is just laundry. They have no "connection" with their team like their fans do because their fans rooted for people that wore that jersey before and that will wear that jersey after.thrill wrote:Two World Series, 3 MVP's, 9 all-star games, 6 Silver Sluggers, 2 Gold Gloves, 2 HR titles, 2 batting titles. They can retire his number tomorrow for all I care. He was one of the best we've ever had or ever will have.
Leave that number off limits for 15 years or so and then retire it. For all he did the past 10-11 years he deserves it.

At least now we can finish Ballpark Village.
If I ate at Albert's place, I'd order the Eggs Benedict Arnold.

Oh, Kendry is going to be non-tendered.
Only 70 or so days until Pitchers and Catchers report!
Enjoy the rest of the offseason.

It would cost a lot and not taste that good. I'd rather go to Trainwreck right around the corner... or not go to Westport Plaza at all...Leroy wrote:At least now we can finish Ballpark Village.
