The organization, Urine Feces Everywhere examined every park in MLB.
As if Cardinals fans need another reason for their total disdain of the Chicago Cubs, the Cubbies' Wrigley Field was recently dubbed the least sanitary stadium in all Major League Baseball. The Cardinals' Busch Stadium is the "Best of the Best." That's according to the website, UFE.com (Urine Feces Everywhere). The site had glowing remarks about Busch Stadium fans. "What can you say about Busch Stadium when you consider that it was the only park in our survey to get an “A” rating? One hundred percent of the women wash their hands in the restroom, and the men aren’t too shabby when it comes to restroom hygiene, either. Busch Stadium is one of the few parks that the UFE Team would feel comfortable shaking another fan’s hand." On the other …

Chief physician has 15-year business in torn ligament repair.
The doctor for St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, Dr. George Paletta, awaits the green light from the city in order to expand his specialized orthopedic surgery practice into Chesterfield Valley. Paletta came before Chesterfield's Planning Commission Wednesday night, asking for amendments that would allow patients to stay overnight for "observation" after surgery at a proposed facility near Boone's Crossing exit from Highway 40/64. He testified that out of 150 surgeries a week, maybe six people would stay overnight for observation. There are 10 doctors associated with the specialized practice, Paletta said. Paletta said he primarily does surgery on torn ligaments in the leg, shoulder and arm. "It's a very select group of patients," …

Edmonds retired February 2011 at 41 years old from play, after signing a minor league contract with the Cardinals. His new assignment is on the management side. Edmonds played major league ball with the St. Louis team 2000-2007, joining the 2006 World Series win by the Cardinals with 4 RBIs, according to Wikipedia. He was born in southern California in 1970. Spring training starts Feb. 18 for the Cardinals, in Jupiter, FL, for the 2012 Season. MLB.com shows the Cardinals play eight games in 10 days, in Jupiter, March 21-30.

Whether you're a serious baseball fan or a data nerd (or both), these clear and colorful graphics of St. Louis tweets about the Cardinals during the 2011 World Series are for you.

Cardinals player said he's humbled by huge statue of self in Westport Plaza.
First basemen Albert Pujols and his wife Deidre Pujols thanked swarms of Cardinals fans coming out to Westport Plaza Wednesday, where officials unveiled a bronze 10-foot, 1,100-pound statue of the baseball player about 11 a.m. "I don't even know what to say...," Pujols told the crowd, describing the experience as very humbling. The anonymously commissioned statue sits in front of Pujols 5 Grill, Pujol's restaurant. Pujols also talked about Cardinals Manager Tony La Russa's retirement. He said La Russa had been like a dad to him, and a mentor. Pujols said he will miss La Russa, yet wished him the best. Pujols fans came from across St. Louis County and across the Mississippi River to the unveiling. Syl and Judy Biermann of Town and Country …

Each World Series title has a unique and special story line. This one was no different.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This one must be worth about a million. I have been lucky enough to now sit in on six World Series in my own modern era (starting back in 1982). No, I was not there for the Gas House Gangs championship in 1926. I’ve now seen World Series play from the stands, the press box and the streets outside the stadium. Each offered its different views and unique perspectives. Fans in hotel bars and tail gate parking lots revere their Cardinals as much as those who paid $20,000 for one seat in the prized box area. I’ve covered the Olympics, the Pan American Games; the NCAA Final Four and countless state prep championships. Each event has its own story line and unique set of circumstances and values. This …
