Yes, on this date, June 18, 1939 Louis Clark Brock was born in El Dorado, Arkansas….and the world was changed. Well, that might be a bit of a stretch in terms of changing the world, but at the least Lou Brock is responsible for a kid growing up in Northeast Ohio becoming a Cardinals fan even [...]
Don’t forget that Sunday May 17th is Lou Brock statue day at Busch Stadium against the dreadful Milwaukee Brewers.  According to the MLB website the first 25,000 fans will receive a Lou Brock replica statue. Hey, why don’t you send me a picture of your statue.  Send it to 938@brockabrella.com Should be fun!

Sysyncly…. Teixera is an awesome hitter, above average fielder. He’s on the the team that puts their money where their mouth is! Now all the chips should fall into place for all the other free agents. Brian Fuentes will NOT sign with the Cardinals. Adam Dunn will be a Cub. The Cardinals will sign NOTHING of value and the fans will [...]
Trevor Miller signing…big yawn at this point.  Probably an adequete guy as long as he holds up.  He’s 35 years old. Khalil Greene for Mark Worrell and a player to be named later – Probably OK.  Outside a poor 2008 he’s a real nice offensive addition (except the strikeouts) and a servicable defender. What do you think? 938@brockabrella.com Bernie [...]
