comes from my friend, Rick Moran in Pajamas Media. He remembers day game’s at Busch Stadium in St. Louis as I do:

I can recall my days in St. Louis going to Cardinals games this time of year and watching the players on the artificial surface at old Bush Stadium bouncing around uncomfortably on a field that would achieve temperatures of close to 140 degrees. The heat wafting up from the ground was incredible. Between innings, players would wrap ice cold towels around their heads while some would even immerse their fully cleated feet into pails of ice water. In weather like that, pitchers wilt after 5 or 6 innings, and playing the game becomes a test of manhood and endurance.

Moran’s becoming one of the blogosphere’s hardest working. While being PM’s sports columnist, Moran also has his own successful blog, Right Wing Nut House. He also has recentlky agreed to help edit American Thinker.
