I have always loved the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird where Scout and Jem are sitting up in the balcony of the Maycomb Court House next to Reverend Sykes and, just as Atticus Finch starts slowly walking toward the exit, the good Reverend says, “Miss Jean Louise Finch, stand up, your father’s passing.”
Well, if I was a Cardinals ticket holder whose seats are near the tunnel where the Cardinals enter and exit the locker room, I would stand up whenever Kelvin Beachum is passing.
The more and more I listen to Beach and the more and more I learn about his life’s journey, his interests and his extraordinary philanthropy, I find myself feeling so awed by his humanity.
