Cardinal Country

No, I did not stay up for the Cardinals 13 innings --not even for the lst but Clay Shelby went up, stayed for all the game and drove home!   Betty Hearnes even stayed up and is half dead this morning -- although she has to get dressed for the Mizzou game by 11:00.

It is in her blood -- she inherited it from her dad, who would dismiss church early when Cards were playing so he would not miss a minute!   I will never forget seeing how excited he was to meet Stan Musial when Warren brought him to Sikeston during the campaign and he met him!  

So I will go out to lunch with Bob and Ann Gifford.   Wonder if they are Cardinal fans and they know the name of the pitcher who brought the game home!   I won't be able to bluff how little I know about the lineup or even when they play next!
