The St. Louis Blues might not have the pedigree or history of the Original Six teams. They might not have the cache of big cities like New York or Boston or even fellow Midwestern city Chicago.
Nevertheless, sports mean just as much, if not more, to the people within the area and those outside of it that still root for the St. Louis teams.
Of course, everyone knows about the St. Louis Cardinals at this point. They are one of the few Midwestern teams that gets any respect nationally. That likely comes from the fact they have won 11 world championships and dominated everything baseball west of the Mississippi for decades.
