St. Louis Cardinals and Easter Sunday
Submitted by diana on Mon, 2006-04-17 10:21.
On Easter Sunday my family sat next to a family of Cardinal fans.
During the greeting time, one of their teenage boys told me "If the Cardinals don't make it this year, I hope the Cubs do".
That was sweet. I was somewhat speechless.
After the service I asked him if he was going to a game this year at the new Busch stadium. He said he'd already been there (vs. Milwaukee) and that the park wasn't quite done. The signage wasn't up yet and that made finding one's seats a challenge.
Here is the webpage regarding the new stadium:

Remember the teen I mentioned in the top post in this thread?
It looks like he'll be attending a Chicago college and he's planning on converting to cheering for the Cubs during his Chicago college days.
So there is another Cards -> Cubs convert.
Another Cards fan friend of mine tried converting during the 2003 playoffs. She said she couldn't take it.
