That used to be a very real problem in Kansas City in the 60's, when Charlie Finley had his mule wandering around in the outfield.

Hopefully not during the game, JMo....wait a second....JMo's on to something here...now that would add a whole new and exciting dimension to the game! Picture this: A couple Jackasses grazing on the outfield grass...3 or 4 of those Howler Monkeys scadaddling around on the infield....wild Rhodesian turkeys scooting around in foul territory....maybe a squirrel racing across home plate just as the pitcher enters his windup...I know it sounds poposterous....but just think of the fun possibilities. I bet it would out-draw the game as we know it.

Yes it did - in the 1890's, when Chris von der Ahe was still running things.

Reminder that...

"Cardinals spring training special debuts on FOX Sports Midwest" tonight.

Reminder that the Cards season preview premieres tomorrow morning and will be replayed five times.

I was around Dan McLaughlin, Pat Parris and producer Max Leinwand while they were working on it in Jupiter and there will be some meaty content for Cardinals minor league fans included.
