Didn't they put up that big croquet hoop to mark the gateway to the West, as in west of the Mississippi?

St. Louis sits on the west side of the river where the river is flowing at that point. St. Louis is by no means west of the Mississippi.

I wave the white flag in this battle of geography. Joe Buck, you win.

And to add to the list: one of my personal favorite ballplayer names, Joel Youngblood

I think it was with the Giants but Youngblood started a game with the Expos which was suspended, then was traded to the Giants (?) and played for them when the game was resumed.

Youngblood was on the Mets and played a day game against the Cubs at Wrigley. He was traded to the Expos, who had a night game in Philly. He made it there in time and played in that game, too. Got hits in both games the same day.

As a tyke, I actually remember seeing both of those games on TV. My dad was home from work and watching the Cubs-Mets game on WGN in the afternoon, then we watched Phillies-Expos on regional cable that night. I remember dad pointing it out and the announcers making a big deal of it.
