Charles Barkley was not having the Larry Bird and Austin Reaves comparisons:
“Yeah, they’re both white. That’s the only thing they have in common.” 🤣

Rest in peace, Bob Boone. I know you’ve earned your wings, and I know you’re behind the plate in heaven. You made everyone you played with a better player and a better person.
“I don't care if Vanderbilt is 4-8. Have you seen their schedule? Those are eight QUALITY losses against SEC competition! You put Vanderbilt in the Big 12, and they're 11–1, maybe undefeated. If we're expanding to 24 teams and Vanderbilt isn't one of them, then what are we even doing? The committee needs to reward teams for surviving the SEC, not punish them for losing football games!”

Happy birthday to Jack Clark, who turns 71 today. Born November 10, 1955, in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. Here he is in a Cardinals road jersey, No. 21, in his batting stance, from his St. Louis years, 1985 to 1987, which included that three-run NLCS Game 6 home run off Tom Niedenfuer. #JackClark #Cardinals
What are your thoughts and memories of Jack Clark?
Happy 71st birthday to Jack Clark, whose two-out ninth-inning three-run homer in game six of the 1985 NLCS sent the Cardinals to the World Series!

Whitey Herzog would have turned 95 today. Born in New Athens, Illinois, on November 9, 1931, he won six division titles, three pennants and the 1982 World Series with Whiteyball: speed, defense and pitching. NL Manager of the Year in 1985. Hall of Fame Class of 2010. He died April 15, 2024. Who ran Whiteyball better, the Royals or the Cardinals? #WhiteyHerzog #Cardinals
Born on this date in 1931, Whitey Herzog became one of the most beloved managers in Cardinals history. The Hall-of-Fame manager led the Cardinals to three NL pennants in the 1980s and the franchise's 9th World Series championship in 1982.
OTD in 1931, Dorrel Norman Elvert “Whitey” Herzog is born! “The White Rat” managed teams for a full season 13x, and in 7 of those (including 1985!), they had the best record in their division. A 3x pennant-winner with the Cardinals, the Hall of Fame manager led them to the 1982 World Championship.
