St. Louis Offically The Best Baseball Town In America

At least as official as it can be, right?

I mean, let’s talk turkey here for a second..

1) Yes, Bud is retiring and he’s done as the Commissioner of MLB – BUT – it’s not like every single person at MLB is going with him. Senior leadership? Some will go. Others will stay. If’s he’s saying this in public now, isn’t it likely some other people in MLB share his view on this?

2) We kind of knew already. No offense to Kansas City or Tampa Bay who may pop up and have a good run, but when it comes to living and dying by baseball, it comes down to NYC, BOS & STL. Maybe CHI if you’re being generous, but living here, I can tell you that the Bears are a bigger deal than either of the baseball teams.

3) It’s going to be a real pisser if he’s saying that NYC, BOS & CHI are actually ‘cities’ and STL is the best ‘town’.

4) None of this actually means squat.

Still… WE’RE THE BEST!
