Definitely a case of mixed emotions at Chase Field tonight, as we welcome back the best position player ever to pull on a Diamondbacks uniform. Only he won’t be pulling on a Diamondbacks uniform tonight, Paul Goldschmidt playing for the St. Louis Cardinals. Cardinals fans will know kinda what it’s like, having your greatly-beloved first baseman go elsewhere, though at least Albert Pujols went to the other league. He didn’t actually return to St. Louis until June this year, 71⁄2 years after signing with the Angels, and by that point largely sucked, so the emotional torment would have been considerably less than has to be endured by Arizona fans.
Preview, #157: 9/23 vs. Cardinals
