The St. Louis Blues announced the passing of one of their former owners on Monday. Mike Shanahan, who was part of the ownership group from the mid-80’s to the mid-90’s, died at the age of 78.
It is an interesting thing to ponder about. We live in a day and age where 78 almost seems a bit early, but Shanahan definitely lived a fairly full life.
From his personal life, he was a part of two national championship soccer teams with St. Louis University in 1959 and 1960. He was also elected to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
