You're probably wondering: Why the heck is this guy writing about Ray Lankford, who played his final year with the Cardinals in 2004?
It's a good question. The two-part answer:
1. Today is Lankford's 48th birthday — so happy birthday, Ray.I wouldn't have known that unless f Cardinals historian Mark Tomasik hadn't mentioned it on Twitter. By the way, if you love Cardinals history and nostalgia, you should check out Tomasik's site, RetroSimba.com ... you will enjoy it.
2. When Lankford's name came up on Twitter, some fans jumped in to say that Ray was underrated.
