BenFred: Rebuffed rumor of potential Cardinals sale should stir appreciation for long, successful DeWitt era

A few of you out there in Cardinal Nation are probably feeling a stronger sense of appreciation for your favorite club’s current chairman this weekend. If not, you should be. It’s funny how the suggestion something could be nearing an end can make you realize you would rather see it keep rolling.
