The Cardinals really seem to be a classy organization.

Quote:Piscotty is from Pleasanton and his mother, Gretchen, was diagnosed with ALS earlier this year; the Cardinals had made it clear that if they could send Piscotty to the Bay Area, they would try to do so.

Kudos to the Cards in this case, but they did have a problem a few years ago when they hacked  the Astros that didnt reflect too well on them.

And while on the topic of Cards...Louisville is suing Pitino. Pass the popcorn.
