Whether you're coming out of the dugout for a crucial at-bat or out of the bullpen to seal up another close lead, you need entrance music. Plain and simple. We've been fascinated with the current portfolio of Cardinals stadium anthems and this week, we're flipping that paradigm on its head and going with catchy, 8-bit jingles.

As those attending last Wednesday’s game may have noticed, the Bat-Pod motorcycle and Tumbler – the tank-like version of the Batmobile – were parked outside Busch Stadium as part of a nationwide tour promoting The Dark Knight Rises, the highly anticipated Batman movie, and the 83rd such movie to be released since the great Adam [...]

This week we bring Jack "The Ripper" Clark into the JoeSportsFan Show to talk about Tony La Russa, steroids, the number 22 and welcome any and all references to 80's Cardinals baseball.

Can we stop for a minute and collectively admit that not showing the field rushers on network television is not preventing future acts of malfeasance? Anyway, enough of this hullabaloo. You want to see Thursday night's nude streaker don't you? Of course you do. Because our fan hunters are the best in the biz.

Ballpark Village has been scaled back from the original plan significantly, but still. This is exciting for the Cardinals, tourists and the City of St. Louis. And it's also exciting for you because we're using the topic as the impetus for this week's Weekly Hypothetical.

Much to our pleasure, since spring training started JoeSportsFan has become the local repository for any and all photos of #5 jerseys that have received some homemade alteration.

As we observed during the first week of the season, a billboard stating that Chris Carpenter (who has been on the DL since Spring Training) is "ready for an encore" might not be the best choice of words. At least, in hindsight. Today, a JSF reader noticed that another Cardinal player has fallen victim to the marketing push.

Earlier in the season, satellite provider DirecTV centered the marketing campaign for its MLB Extra Innings package on this commercial starring everybody’s favorite Benedict Arnold, Albert Pujols (or Bengedict Arngold if you’re saying it in your best Pujols imitation.) If you haven’t yet seen this ad, take a peek: If you were an Angels fan [...]

In this week's episode of The JoeSportsFan Show, we begin by paying homage to the finest athlete to ever attend Lake Land College in Mattoon, IL. Gary "The Rat" Gaetti. We also bring in another man with roots in Mattoon, Will Leitch. Now, let's dig in a little deeper.

Field rushing is just as much a part of the fabric of baseball as sunflower seeds and jock straps. Nowadays, it seems fans don't even bat an eye at an on-field intruder unless the tasers come out of their holsters. But what about the origin of the practice? We've obtained exclusive audio.
