OT Letter to the Post Dispatch

We here in Boston hosted the Cardinals and their fans twice this year - in the
regular season in June and of course this week in the World Series. You have a
great team, and the fans lived up to their reputation as rabidly pro-Cardinals
without being anti anyone else.

But the actions of the Cardinals organization go even further to show the class
of St. Louis. Last night the gates of the stadium were thrown open to Red Sox
fans, allowing those who did not have tickets into the stadium in the last few
innings to be present for what would become Boston's first World Series victory
since 1918. That was so classy.

Believe me, we know disappointment and finally elation, but we also know
sportsmanship.

Thanks, St. Louis!

Maurice T. Cunningham,

I suppose, although since they were Red Sox fans maybe the
Cards thought it'd be safer for all concerned to just let
'em into the stadium where security could keep an eye on
'em instead of letting 'em run around loose on the streets
of St. Louis. ;-)
