Here is a post about what makes me a Cardinals fan, and why the Cardinals are the best team in the NL to root for. 1. Brian Barton's hair. 2. Albert Pujols (the man, the legend, the god) 3. The Red and White Colors and the Logo 4. Scott Spiezo's Beard 5. Bob Gibson's 1968 season 6. Ozzie Smith 7. The 2006 World Series: defying the odds 8. The resurrection of Chris Carpenter 9. Dave Duncan's uncanny ability to fix pitchers 10. Tony La Russa 11. Roger's Hornsby 12. Having Branch Rickey as manager back in the day 13. The Gashouse Gang 14. Lou Brock 15. Big Mac in 1998 16. Stan Musial 17. I hate the Cubbies 18. I can't stand the Astros 19. Yadier Molina is amazing 20. The trade for Wainwright 21. Jim Edmond's amazing defense 22. Larry Walker in the Red and White 23. Molina's 2 Run HR in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the NLCS against the Mets 24. Albert Pujols 25. Rick Ankiel 26. Ryan Ludwick 27. The closer's name is Izzy 28. They had a player named Dizzy Dean 29. Colby Rasmus 30. Ray Lankford 31. Enos Slaughter 32. Blake Hawksworth is a superb baseball name 33. The old Busch Stadium 34. The new Busch Stadium 35. Mike Matheny before he was a Giant 36. Fernando Vina 37. Albert Pujols 38. Matt Morris before he sucked 39. Jaime Garcia 40. Chris Perez 41. I still love Anthony Reyes, sadly enough 42. Hector Luna 43. My little league team was the Cardinals 44. The Cards will always be better than the Cubbies, no matter what ...
