JUPITER, Fla. • The laughs couldn’t be contained and they echoed into the Cardinals clubhouse early Sunday morning as, for a few hours, the coaches’ room became “Comedy Central,” according to manager Mike Matheny.
That could mean only one thing: Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee had been reunited.
“I think that was part of the spark,” Matheny said. “But then it turned into everybody. They’re in there just telling stories. It’s the ancillary stories guys are going to get — talking about the commitment and even the history. The history of this organization is something that’s so important to us, and it’s communicated best by the voices who were a part of it.
