And in the same interview he cited the Cards high payroll as why they couldn't do it.

I'm disappointed in ownership.

I've come to expect that from this regime. They had a nice run. That'll buy them some time because of our naive fanbase. And ultimately they will sell

Hey Dollar Bill.... you have no transformational star power offensive talent in your system.

Who cares, right? Turnstiles spin... Beer is 10 bucks. Ballpark Pillage is putting everyone else out of business.

Life is good.

I wouldn't call the fan base naive. They just love baseball, so they'll continue to go to games, buy merchandise, etc.

Not to mention there's not much competition for the fandom in St. Louis.

I think they're at least starting to see some pushback. But the change will be slow. You're right that they're the top dog by a wide margin.

Abundant tickets on StubHub - starting at 6 bucks.

They see it.
