In a social media post that he would later say was meant to celebrate his and several associates' return from dealing with COVID-19, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina showed himself smiling and huddled with friends, family, and a few members of the Cardinals' traveling party.
The caption he originally wrote was a blunt: "(Expletive) Covid."
That sentiment aside, the visual of people from the team gathered together and not wearing masks or distanced from one another caught attention Monday, drawing a comment from the club about its protocols and an explanation from Molina about why the recent photo was taken and shared.
