The St. Louis Cardinals are still in the news. While fans would prefer that the birds on the bat appear in the news for positive things, the Cardinals are once again front and center with the news of a rift between her manager and one of her outfielders.
In the years past, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa found himself at odds with Colby Rasmus (and Rasmus’ father). This made all of the sports pages of all local media. This was 2011.
In fact, in 2012 when Rasmus was playing with the Blue Jays- the team to which he was traded from the Cardinals- he did an interview speaking more directly about the disagreement experienced with La Russa.
