@AugieNash Also on his resume include being the only former Negro League player still alive, being one of the first Black men to serve in the Marine Corps, took part in the battle of Iwo Jima, was a mentor to Bob Gibson, a civil rights advocate and pastor in the South, and more. Amazing
@joshjaco98@StlMac_@datzoulou@FSRedbirdRants To be fair, a ton of fans were firing the “trade him for a bucket of balls” and “cut him” takes. Obviously you’ll always have random, weird opinions online, but I do think many went way beyond just saying he’s been bad and needed to be better
@AugieNash I’m 28 and have loved your posts for a long time. I especially share your love for Cool Papa Bell and the Stars in general. I make TikTok videos for fun and have made multiple about St. Louis baseball history. A lot of younger people engage with it! There’s hope for the future
@CitySceneSTL I’ve followed you for a long time and I always appreciate your updates and perspective. So many enter this discussion with nothing but sweeping takes and no solutions. It is possible to acknowledge the work to be done while not giving in to doomerism and apathy.
