No man to ever suit up for the St. Louis Blues was perfect. No human being is perfect in today’s world, nor can they live up to the expectations of the masses.
There are those that come closer than others, however. Those are the people with a spirit that we all hope to achieve and are drawn to.
As someone with no personal Bob Plager stories, I’ve still felt connected to the man. Perhaps some of that is simply his unending connection to the team we all love, but some of it is also how he managed to portray exactly what fans want from their sports heroes.
