Greg, it seems I have made a habit of correcting you lately!

I have always wanted to have somebody to correct all of the silly things I say. You're going to have your hands full, it seems I have a lot to learn about the perfection of the Cardinals!

I have refined my all-time team to:
SP: Dizzy Dean
C: Yadier Molina
1B: Stan Musial
2B: Rogers Hornsby
3B: Stan Musial (it's okay he never played there!)
SS: Dal Maxvill
LF: Stan Musial
CF: Willie McGee
RF: Curt Ford

I see exactly how you baited me on that one. That is your choice for YOUR all time Cardinals team, so I'm not going to say one word about it. I am NOT going to correct you on it.

So there you go - I am keeping my promise - not going to correct you.

I have written 3 paragraphs and have not corrected you. I'm doing so good!

Ok! I can't take it any more! Are you telling me that you have the audacity to leave Albert Pujols and Ozzie Smith off of an all time Cardinals team? Seriously!!!!

I must admit that that Ozzie guy was pretty good, but he didn't have a cool action pose in the 1971 set like Maxvill. I don't make the rules!

Being a lifelong fan and refusing to call your beloved team by the random, ‘politically correct’ moniker it was suddenly changed to, and sticking with what the franchise has always been called.

See also: Wokerevokers - people who aren’t necessarily fans of the team, but have a love for the game’s traditions and team identities, and refuse to use the silly new name.

I think just like most of these things (and personified by Gen-Z seemingly more than most) many people believe history only started the moment they were born. Anything before that was wrong or a myth and can only be interpreted by their lens.

These mascots will die with the fans that remember them and grew up with them. Yes, I will never use any of the new names and I am sure the new generation will look at me quizzically each time in confusion.

with the incorporation of the NL DH, you can add Pujols to your list.
