Now Batting for the Redbirds. . .
Posted: March 17, 2013
Imagine Jack Buck announcing the new pope&hllip;
Jack Buck's long gone
but in my mind I hear his raspy voice
with play-by-play descriptions
as the Red Birds made their choice.
"The Cardinals in their clubhouse
are adept at drawing straws.
And as they start to take the field
just hear the rapt applause.
"The captain of the team's been named.
His uniform's unique.
His jersey's different. So's his cap.
And you should see his cleats!
"Spring training has resulted in
a season of fresh hope.
And so Cards fans, now batting
is the church's brand new pope."
* Jack Buck was the beloved play-by-play announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals for half a century.
