Most of the veterans kept a safe distance, posing for pictures but not signing autographs or shaking hands. A lot of the younger guys were more enthusiastic though, so I got high fives from the likes of Joe Mather, Brad Thompson, Brendan Ryan, Rick Ankiel, Kyle McClellan, and a few others.

The Cardinals winning, and Adam Wainwright pitching well, made it even better.

Since Brendan Ryan and his shoulder licking are on the disabled list, I think my new favorite Cardinals player quirk has to be Brian Barton and his inability to keep his helmet on his head anytime he runs. Add that to his incredible speed and he’s a real fun player to watch. Today he added his first triple to his Major League resume.
