MIKE SHANNON
He lived every St. Louisans’ dream. A local kid who got to play for the Cardinals! Then he announced the games for the next 50 years. No one provided more entertainment.
We call them “Shannonisms” and they made an already great game even more enjoyable. The one above is my personal favorite. Do you have a favorite Shannonism?
https://arachnerd.wordpress.com/mike-shannon-quotes/ has a compilation of some good ones.
A local legend who will always be remembered!
We should have invited him to Christmas Eve
He would have loved it!
Yes, Stephanie – we dropped the ball there. It would have been fun.
The quotes were fun to read; thanks for the memories, Emily. Truly a great Cardinal who is missed already.
