It's more than a little confusing where he might go. Not so much on how tight it has been kept but what kind of person Pujols is. If it's for the money (which I doubt it is) I see the reason being to donate most of it to the charities he supports. The only other side I can see is if he really and truly loves baseball the best bet would be to go to the stud farm in the role of a DH in his later years. If he has to leave St Louis I would like to see him go to the Cubs.

As far as the Reds go....

I might be going to the Reds St Louis game in April while I'm at my parents house near Louisville.

I wonder how the St. Louis fans would react to that?

I'm jealous. I've yet to go to a Reds game at GABP. I need to make the trip sometime in the near future.

RIP Bob Forsch. Only 61 years old ... some of you may have seen him throw out the first pitch for game 7 last week.

Pitched for the Cards from 1974-88. Right hander with a record of 163-127 and a 3.67 career ERA with the Cards.

He is remembered most as the only St Louis pitcher to ever throw 2 no-hitters. I remember him best as a competitor ... sort of a Chris Carpenter of his day. In addition to being a gritty pitcher, he could also handle the bat ... won 2 Silver Slugger awards.

As Ozzie says ... heaven just got a new starter.
