Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city, you’re actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it. You know what I mean, you are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt, they *hate* him now. Boo! different shirt!! Boo.
— Jerry Seinfeld

One thought on “2006 St. Louis Cardinals”

  1. This is one reason why I generally prefer university sports over professional sports. University teams have their own ups and downs, but they all represent the same institution, wear the same colors as when we attended that school.
