The St. Louis Blues touted the 2016-17 season as part of their 50th anniversary. However, their actual 50th birthday was just a couple days ago.
On June 5, 1967 the Blues and five other teams came into the world. Though so many of us were not there for that very moment, it was a day that would forever change our lives.
Those of us that are Blues fans would be very different people if the team had never come to be. Perhaps we would not have had as much sports heartbreak, but who knows how we would have turned out otherwise.
