Wrapping up 2006
Well, 2006 certainly carved out a long-lasting Cardinals memory for all of us. Still can't believe it. Victory beer hair!
Getting MLB tickets can be very frustrating. All I really want to know is when single-game tickets will be going on sale. But despite the fact that there are numerous links, ads and top story blurbs regarding Cardinals 2007 tickets on their official site, this info is unavailable. Perhaps the exact date is not set, but that could at least be clearly conveyed. I also find the labeling of multi-game packages very goofy (ex. Pujols Packs, LaRussa Plan). It is nonsensical … I suppose Lee Smith should be in the Hall of Fame based on who is already there. I’m no fan of how closers are severely overrated, but what stands out about Smith is the fact he threw 83-plus inning for seven straight years. Those 1-plus innings saves are on an entirely different plane than the single-inning closes. Smith also amassed over 1,000 career innings as a reliever. His batting stats are funny: Smith struck out 42 times in 67 career plate appearances but did hit one HR in his three career hits.
