Memphis was and (for all it's issues and problems) still is a Cardinals town. The Redbirds are the Cardinals AAA team. KMOX came in like a local station. My dad and grandpa listened to Cardinals games regularly, and WMC channel 5 on TV was part of the regional Cardinals TV network...Jack Buck, Harry Carey, Jay Randolph and Mike Shannon.
