I'd heard a rumor. During the Cardinals home game Sunday, the huge “A” in the “BIG MAC Land” sign wasn't lit. So after the game, I did my due diligence and sought out Jedd Gyorko.
“Jedd, I heard that in batting practice, you hit a homer that smashed the 'A' in the sign.”
“Wasn't me,” he said.
“But, like, they told me that ...”
“They might try to get me to pay for it,” he deadpanned, keeping a straight face. “So it wasn't me.”
He then slightly smirked, and shared info about the rare accomplishment, knocking out the light in the big letter, upon the lip of the third deck in left field.
