I didn’t want to like Busch Stadium. I was born just a few months after the Cardinals beat the Red Sox in the 1967 World Series, and my father had told me as I was growing up about St. Louis beating the Red Sox in the 1946 World Series, too, so I was predisposed not to like them. Then, after I moved to Kansas City, the Cardinals struck me as sort of whiny jerks in the 1985 World Series against the Royals, so when my Red Sox finally beat St. Louis in the 2004 World Series, there was a good amount of natural rivalry feelings about that team that made me think “Ha! That’s what you get!”
