I usually don't like to nit-pick, but I'd just like to straighten out a
mistake that many non-St. Louisans seem to make:
The fact that St. Louis has two "Cardinal" teams is nothing more than
coincidence. The St. Louis baseball Cardinals have been in St. Louis from the time the
the time that team first began playing (late 19th or very early 20th century).
The football Cardinals, on the other hand, have only been in St. Louis
since 1960; they moved there from Chicago, where they were known as the
Chicago Cardinals.
