Just turned on the Coards-Brewers

does anyone know why the Cards are wearing black arm bands tonight?

Honoring Darrell Porter.

OK, thanks for that. Seems to me taking the arm band bit a little too far.

He died 10 years ago.  It does seem they are taking this a bit too far.

And what was with the 70s road blue unis?  Did they wear those at home back in the day?

All of the clubs, save the Red Sox and Yankees (and maybe one or two others), wore some pretty hideous unis in the 70s.

Yeah, but I remember the blue ones as road unis tho (the Phillies had similar ones).  Just thought it was strange since it was a home game.  Guess I'd better get a'googlin'.

And there's your homework for the day.

And there's your homework for the day.

From the Cardinals site:

After wearing their “home” white uniforms on Saturday, the Cardinals will don their “victory blue” road uniforms from 1982 in Sunday’s series finale.

Which would make sense if they won the 1982 WS on the road in Milwaukee.  Except they won it in St Louis.  But, it is the Coards....
