Weekly Hypothetical: nominate one current/former athlete as the Mayor of St. Louis
2012
Earlier this week, Mark McGwire vacated his seat as the Cardinals hitting coach. In his absence, former Cardinal John Mabry steps into the role after a one-year tenure as Mike Matheny’s travel partner. With José Oquendo still on board, the Cardinals coaching staff is chalk full of former players. But we have loftier ambitions.
The Mayor of St. Louis.
With the Presidential election as the topic du jour, we shape this week’s Weekly Hypothetical.
Here goes…
Next year, Mayor Slay is set to run for his third consecutive term as the Mayor of St. Louis, but we think the Gateway to the West can do better. Namely, with a current or former St. Louis athlete to run against him; challenge Slay on tough issues that face our City, kiss some babies and smile for the cameras. It’s your call.
Choose any current of former athlete to run for Mayor of St. Louis in 2013.

Juan Encarnacion. The current Mayor is blind in both eyes.
What this city needs is a Mayor that can strike horror into the public’s eyes. Let’s go with Willie McGee.
Brett Hull, you want brutal freaking honesty!
The only thing that will unseat Mayor Slay is someone that can out-liberal him. Get a woman in there to run against him. JD Drew will do.
Grant Fuhr. Was he black or white? No one really knows, so he’s got both sides locked up at the polls.
Ray Lankford; the guy knows his way around the legal system but also “Mayor Ray” sounds a lot like “Mayor Slay”…so he’d probably get a lot of confused votes for people that aren’t familiar with him.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Her commercials with Ray Vinson show she’s got great camera appeal, and she could do about a million “running” puns in her campaign ads.
Keith McDonald, if his political career is anything like his playing career, he will hit home runs with his first two acts as mayor and then fade in obscurity, like all mayors should.
Mike Danton- would put in a hit on those opposing him
