The Morning Tailgate
For the past few years, the Cardinals website has publicized various ticket packs named for the club’s brightest stars: The Rolen Plan, The Pujols Pack, The LaRussa Whatever, etc. I was rooting around on the Memphis Redbirds site to see how the Baby Birds are doing, and saw that they’re taking a page from their Major League affiliate - offering various ticket plans. Their headliner?
The Stubby Clapp FanPlan. Yes sirree. A blast from the past. Jump on board and get yours today. You don’t even have to be a small, scrappy, white guy, whose “just gracious to be here”. On to the links….
