Red Schoendienst. I sent this e-mail to a Cards fan buddy, overly dramatic, yes but it's what I'm feeling right now...here's an excerpt... Despite my deep affection for you as a great friend, I hate your favorite baseball team with every fiber of my being. It it the type of irrational hate that has caused humanity to start wars. I'm not proud of it, but I've never experienced anything like the Cards for bringing that out in me. They are a great, resilient team that I begrudgingly respect, but I wish nothing but pain on that mean spirited hypocritical jerk in the dugout whose personality has soaked into that franchise like some incurable disease. I'm sure we'll enjoy many a great time when this is over, but if we lose I will be physically and mentally unable to discuss the events of the series for the remainder of my inevitably shortened life. Love ya brother.
