I spent a lot of my childhood listening to Jack Buck & Mike Shannon call the Cardinals games on WELO AM out of Tupelo. RIP Mike

Born in St. Louis, signed with the Cardinals at 17, played 9 seasons in the Major Leagues with them, and spent 50 seasons announcing Cardinal games. Combined, he spent 64 years with the organization. And, he died in St. Louis

 

[Duke Humphrey]

He was supposedly a better football player, but chose baseball because they were better paid than football players. He was thought to have been a candidate for the Heisman had he returned to Mizzou the next year.

I could get KMOX on my AM radio and listen to Cardinals games as a kid.
Iconic voice of the St Louis Cardinals
