The Cardinal(s) Rule

Woo-hoo! The Cardinals are going to the World Series! Did anyone see that coming? I know we didn’t! But we’ll take it!

On a side note: Did you know that Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina began their professional baseball careers right here in Peoria?? Well, neither did I until today! They both played here in P-Town as Peoria Chiefs, our Class A Minor League team.

I couldn’t find a picture of Molina, but here is a copy of Pujols' card from when he was a Peoria Chief. Look how adorable he was!! I don't know if you can see it, but it says, "Top Prospect" in the bottom left corner of the card. Yeah, ya think!?
