But I'm not a Cards fan.

I'm a Cards fan and I agree with you wholeheartedly. There were others in the Cardinals "family" who were remembered that day, and I would've preferred that they keep Taveras' simple as with the others.
That said, if the Cardinals were going to do a video tribute to him would it have been too much to ask for them offer some brief message about drunk driving? The video was, after all, being played directly below the word "Budweiser".
Or perhaps that's why they didn't mention drunk driving. Hmm...
Get rid of the patch. Hate it.
