This Group of Provocative Cardinals Fans is Deeper Than I Thought

Posted by Matt Sebek, October 20, 2009

Way back on April 21st, 2009, I stumbled upon a few female Cardinals fans wandering around Busch Stadium on Opening Day. I observed the two lasses on separate occasions and took note of their unique customized jersey choices. But, when I noticed the two fans together, it justified a photo op.

As fate would have it, 80 more games streamed through Busch Stadium and I never saw the gals again. That is, until the playoffs. In fact, it would be the final game of 2009 (a home loss to the Dodgers in the NLDS), where I saw one of the ladies again.

But this time, she had a new friend. One that - when paired together - made for an even larger mix of expression, provocativeness and utter weirdness.

Hooker and Tartt. #69. And #1 Ho.

The misspelling of "tart" makes me believe that #9's last name really is "Tartt". But, if that's the case, are we to assume that "Hooker" and "Ho" are real last names? Is there a local message board where you can find other people with erotic last names and arrange shared season tickets plans? Seems like a stretch.

I will never understand humans.

I'd be happy to join these ladies at a game.

"Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior." What I said in The Empire Strikes Back

I'm going to go ahead that these "ladies" have tested out that number combo...if ya know what I mean.

I need a tooth count on that Hooker. She isn't a real Ozark Hooker if she has more than 4 teeth.

"I will never understand humans". LOL!!! That very same thought is on a constant loop in my head. Sad, but so true.

I would have assumed Mr. Question would have been all over a post like this since it ridicules Cards fans instead of Cubs fans. This should be right up a Cubbies fan's alley.

Just to remind Mr. Question/Busted: The Cubs ain't won since 1908.

I knew a girl who went to Marquette High School in St. Louis named Vi Ho. Could be her.

I wonder if you weirded out Mr. Question by knowing who he is.Regardless, keep up the good work, Sebek, et al.

Question?, judging from your posting ip address, this isn't the "first time" you've hated on something. In fact, according to your track record, it's quite customary. I love nerdery. Nevertheless, the topic at hand; we've been posting "fan of the week" columns for three years now. This is nothing new.

200 bucks for a jersey that will only end in ridicule? Why aren't these, er-ladies, serving in Congress?
