The Gateway Arch, temporarily overshadowed as the silver-colored symbol of St. Louis, returned to its rightful spot Monday, as the Stanley Cup vacationed in Vegas.
And the Cardinals returned from under the shadow of the Blues, to under the shadow of the Arch.
“I was able to watch some of it, and to see the support,” Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said, “not that we need any motivation, but it doesn’t hurt to be inspired by somebody locally. And what a fantastic story. We want to have another parade for St. Louis and have a sea of red.
