A Cards fan in New York
Actually, I never watched Boyer play -- he played before I was born. I am 35. I did some research on him and liked what I read so I decided to collect him. I liked how all the others spoke about him, including Musial. I also enjoy the history of the Cardinals.
I have lived in the greater Syracuse area my whole life. The reason why I am a Cardinals fan is because 1982 was the first year that I watched the World Series and the Cards won. I have liked them ever since -- from Ozzie to Vince Coleman to Mark McGwire to Pujols and others today.
It's tough being a Cards fan in New York -- all my friends, my brother and others are Yankee fans.
I only been to St. Louis once. In 2006, the first year of the new stadium. I watched a Cards/Brewers game near the end of the season. The Cards were struggling and they defeated the Brewers that night. It was the game where the scoreboard showed that the Braves defeated the Astros, helping the Cards. The whole stadium started to do the Atlanta chop! It was awesome
