My dad was a baseball fan and the St Louis Cardinals were his team. He passed on the love of baseball to both my sister and me. In turn, I passed it on to my son. Via Grandpa, JT became a Cardinals fan. Some of my fondest memories are the sound of the two of them on the phone, dissecting their team’s prospects and celebrating their triumphs. My Dad’s passing earlier this year made the 2023 baseball season bittersweet for me. But I’ve found comfort in memories of Dad brought on by cardinals. This set reminds me of the joy he found in his three grandsons. It’s made me happy all of the holiday season, a reminder that Dad is still here to celebrate his boys, cheer on his team, condemn Republican stupidity, and look after us.
