One phone call. In one phone call, a family can be decimated with tragedy, a mother must make plans to bury her child, and a father loses his son. Receiving that phone call informing you of the tragic loss of a loved one is both terrifying and disarming. The St. Louis Cardinalsknow these feelings well.
I know them too. I will never forget the day my sister tragically died in a car accident. I received that call from my mom. The St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, and Cleveland Indians are all recent recipients of that phone call.
