They say St. Louis English teachers used to write in and complain about Cardinals broadcaster Dizzy Dean, who sometimes would butcher the language, such as describing a player who “slud into third.”
With that in mind, consider my apologies to St. Louis math teachers as I share this:
Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols are St. Louis. They epitomize our city’s passion. They honorably represent baseball’s best fans, while performing some of baseball’s best baseball. And they exude an unflinching toughness that has provided civic pride.
And on Sunday, they fittingly were celebrated in a pregame ceremony, on the occasion of their final regular-season game at Busch Stadium.
