Thanks to a couple of recent developments that have a “stars aligning” quality to them, Philadelphia’s longtime 1st baseman Ryan Howard may indeed soon find that you can go home again.
Home in Howard’s case is the city of Saint Louis, Missouri, where the baseball Cardinals are the National League version of the New York Yankees. The Cards have won 11 World Series titles, two in the past decade, as well as 19 National League pennants.
Howard was born in Saint Louis on November 19th, 1979. He starred at Lafayette High School in the western Saint Louis suburb of Wildwood, Missouri and then at Missouri State.
