FROM THE CARDINALS PERSPECTIVE
A 2019 DREAM-CHISE WITH ALL LEGENDS INCORPORATED INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS

Spring Brings Amazing New Life
( with major egos!)
After the news had been delivered to the entire existing MLB community of that historic 2019 season, about the “Impending Doom but Fantastic Opportunity”, there was great anticipation of this world ahead throughout Cardinal Nation! Particularly with what the new parent club might look like! Such a storied franchise was sure to bring some very special new teammates. But this excitement brought with it a very high level of uncertainty and anxiety for many as well. NOBODY could truly say their job was secure. Some relished in the idea of that competition, others feared having no role in this new world. Let’s just say “Morale” everywhere would never be the same haha! Regardless this is the new reality and ultimately it would be all about that which they know best! Baseball!
Just like every other Spring training, they would begin finding themselves in Jupiter Fla. piece by piece. First the Pitchers and Catchers of course. All the familiar starters were there. Carlos, Micholas, Wacha, Waino, Flaherty even a healthy ready to go Reyes! Just to mention a few. Same with the most recognizable bullpen and younger arms. But there was one very noticeable absence that everyone in the room was discussing with obvious concern! “YADI”!! Where’s our captain? Then someone heard the cracks of somebody already taking batting practice out on the field. They all smiled certain beyond doubt of the identity. As they rushed out it was obvious something was different about their long time teammate. Significantly less weight, less tattoos, an energy not seen in some time. This was not their YADI, he was the much younger in his prime version! And nobody else even had to make room. What an awesome turn of events!
Feeding him pitches was none other than #45, Gibson himself! Things are starting to get interesting! Further out, past the outfield, was this rather rough looking bearded guy stretching out wearing a forbidden #42 jersey! But that number was retired for somebody else in St Louis as well. Yes it was the one and only mister Bruce Sutter himself! It was starting to become obvious that Memphis would definitely have a improved pitching staff due to roster restrictions alone!
Gibby and Sutter both took on humble and quiet, yet absolutely confident leader roles with the rest of the staff and immediately made everyone better for it! Yadi left the other catchers jaw dropped when he started working on throw downs and pickoff moves.
All this on day 1! What a great summer this going to be!
*** Off storyline: I’m actually almost at the all star break in game, and once I catch-up I’ll start reporting events more as updates not story. Just trying to catch up while describing my universe as best as I can to those that might be interested!
