I would have loved to have had him retire as a Cardinal, but part of me is relieved that the Cards don't have that contract to deal with

Die hard Cardinal fan and I am also relieved it is over.
Good luck in California from year 2016 on. You're paying $25 million per for not much production, when .250 with 20 homers is a good year at the back end....
The Cardinals will be fine, we'll replace Albert eventually, and they've got lots of good young hitters coming along.
