2016 is the ten year anniversary of the 2006 World Series St. Louis Cardinals. The organization is using special Tuesday night games to highlight remembered players. Last night was Aaron Miles night and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
Some four months ago when I first heard that Aaron Miles, who wore the number 12 and played second base (primarily) for the St. Louis Cardinals, was going to be the highlighted player on Tuesday, August 9, I penned a love letter (of sorts) to the player with whom I share the same last name, wore the same number when I played (long before he broke the majors), and with whom I shared my on-field position.
