If you follow Cardinal baseball you know what the rally squirrel is all about. This cute little squirrel ran across the field during the wildcard playoffs helping to lift our bats {and spirits} to victory over the Phillies.Now it has gone rabid in St. Louis {sorry for the pun} showing up on t-shirts, towels and I believe it's own web page. It's just something that gives us Cardinal fans a little more hope in our team winning the NLCS and advancing to the World Series. It got me thinking about other silly superstitions and rituals that give us fans of any sports hope. When I was younger and still living in St. Louis, I had a certain hat I had to wear to Busch Stadium to catch a game. To me, that hat insured a Cardinal victory every time I went. And most of the time it did. Having a little hope goes a long way. Tomorrow is the district championship game for Danny and the Burke football team. It means so much to these Seniors. So... I will be eating take-out before the game, wearing the same Burke shirt I have worn to all the games and sitting on the 50 yard line like always. Will it make a difference in the game, probably not. But it gives me hope, hope that they will be 8-0 and district champs.
