That's an awful weak excuse to dismiss the Cards.
My dad hails from St. Louis and attended Cardinal games as a kid. Since I was an Air Force brat that never stayed in one place more than 2 years at a time, I don't really have any hometown.
If I were to fall in place for the nearest MLB venue to my place of birth, it'd be San Francisco. But honestly, no one chooses to become a Giants fanâ more like they're cursed with such fate. I have enough wiggle room to escape that, and had instead fallen into family traditionâ Cardinals.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
