The line is “how can you not be romantic about baseball”
I love the umpire checking the dirt to allow more time for his ovation.
I forget he was with the Cardinals. I still think of him as a Diamondback.
This game is greater than any of our fandoms.
We love our ex players in STL
Forever Giants killer
Arenado got the same treatment on his return to Coors. Always cool to see it happen.
Cant wait for him to get into the HOF.
One of my favorite players of the 2010s.
Man his MVP year, Pujols being back, and Arenado finding third in MVP voting was the last chance we had at making a run at a championship for at least the next 5-10 years.
Awwwww
Classy move STL, loved Goldy
I think of him as more of a Diamondback than a Cardinal. But good for St. Louis fans.
Almost went 4-4 too
Baseball, man
I love it when the St. Louis fans do this.
I was at coors with cards and walker showed up. Standing o and a hanging change he swatted for 1st ab back.
Its good to see dozens of people there
St Louis fans are true baseball fans!
I still remember 1st time Freddie came back to the A. We still genuinely love that dude still. Every time he comes back we make sure he knows. Hope he comes back after the deal is over. Go Braves!

Won an MVP here and is an all world class act. Nothing to dislike about Goldy
One of the best to ever do it at 1B. I’m lucky enough to have seen my Giants go against his Cards for a lot of years. Goldy won’t soon be forgotten in the whole NL West. Can’t wait to see him in Cooperstown when he’s finally done.
