What was Louis saint of? If i had to guess, my first one would be the Blues, but that would be another sport, so i'm probably wrong, especially as cardinals are not blue. And they have pointy heads (some say those are hats, but i am not so sure.)
But then i remember a song from my childhood, which i am pretty sure was part of a rich oral tradition passing down history that otherwise would have been forgotten, and lo and behold, the internet has the song!
Of course we all know what Paul is Saint of, how he persecuted Minnesotans until Babe Ruth appeared to him in the form of a big blue ox, and he became a lumberjack, and he was okay, making bats that can take the ball out to all fields.
I am pretty sure Minny is the patron saint of pitching to contact, but that is hard gospel to preach, and has yet to be recognized as canon. Some even demonize it as relying on craftiness more than straight honest dealing, associating more the works of Loki, Hermes, or Puck... ol' Robin Goodfellow.
Anyway, that is all ancient history, which some may not credit.
Currently the Twins season leaves something to be desired, and i sure am gonna miss Berrios!
I'm verklempt... Talk amongst yourselves!
