@ClownWorld Why steal a Hyundai or a Kia?

14-year-old recorded himself stealing a Hyundai, then led police on a chase in a stolen Kia Optima. Filming your own crime spree. Kids really think they're untouchable these days. Hope he enjoys juvi.

@AugieNash I just cannot imagine the feeling.

It's been 4 years, and still ... Time is a thief - Remember that. Live your best life because it will pass you by before you know it. Show compassion. Learn to forgive. Say "I love you". Rest in Paradise - I will cherish your presence in my life until my last breath.

@AugieNash @redbirdgurl In my mind, the title belongs to you.

@redbirdgurl That title belongs to the late and GREAT Bob Broeg.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste" -Rolling Stones Well, I am neither of the above. For the new followers of this account, my name is Augie and I love sharing the history of the St Louis Cardinals. With each daily post, I hope to spark a Cardinals memory, or enlighten you to the players and events of the past. It is imperative that we remember these players. They are the ones who laid the foundation for the team we love today. #STLCards

@AugieNash I wish he was still with the Cardinals.

Donnie doing Donnie things.

@Diane1611 @AugieNash I bet they've been planning this for quite a while.

@T140v @AugieNash There is a display at the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum about the 1926 team.

(L to R) Dick Hughes, Steve Carlton, Orlando Cepeda, Tim McCarver, Julian Javier, Mike Shannon, Lou Brock, Red Schoendienst, Ray Washburn, Larry Jaster, Ted Savage, Ed Spiezio, Bobby Tolan and Bob Gibson.

@C70 I got that one wrong.

JJ HR!

@AugieNash Mom threw mine out a long time ago. Many years later she apologized to me. “Ahhh mom, it’s ok.”

There’s something special about a kid collecting baseball cards. It’s not just about the cards themselves, it’s the thrill of the chase and the joy of discovery. Picture a young fan, maybe 8 or 9, laying on their bed, flipping through a stack of cards they’ve traded, bought, or begged off a friend. Each card is a tiny treasure, a connection to their heroes. The smell of fresh ink, the crinkle of a pack opening, the way their eyes light up when they snag a favorite player, it’s pure, unfiltered love. They’re not thinking about resale value or pristine condition. It’s simpler than that. It’s about building something of their own, a personal hall of fame. They’ll ramble on about batting averages, argue over who’s the best shortstop, and stash their doubles in an old shoebox under the bed. That passion, that innocent obsession, it’s a kind of magic, raw and real, untouchable by the cynicism of grown-ups. That little kid... that little kid was probably you.

@AugieNash @GatewayArchSTL I had a ‘75 Corvette for years until I gave it to my grandson the first of the year.

I love this photo of St Louis (1965)! Shriners standing by 1966 Corvettes that were built at the old GM plant at Natural Bridge Avenue and Union Boulevard, with the unfinished @GatewayArchSTL in the background. #StLouis #Shriners

@AugieNash My ex doesn't give me any crap. I got full custody when my son was 11 months old. He's 45 now.

Me when I peek out the door and see it's the ex-wife.

@espnW @MoStateWBB LA Tech had won 19 in a row prior to today’s game.

@AugieNash We played one last game but we didn’t know it.

- These kids were you, these kids were me. - All we needed was a backyard, a vacant lot or even the street. - It didn't matter your age, if you showed up - you played. - It didn't matter if you were a boy or a girl, if you showed up - you played. - We umpired ourselves and argued for our side until we were red in the face. - We used nails and screws to fix our broken bats. - The balls could be waterlogged, lopsided or have the cover falling off, it didn't matter. - We would slide not because we needed to, but because dirt and grass stains were cool. - Mom would yell at us for the dirty clothes, Dad secretly loved it. - We shared bats and gloves. - Our bases were bare spots, gunny sacks or pieces of cardboard. - The kid who always thought he was the best player - wasn't. - The kid who wasn't very good played right field, but he was happy to be there. - The kid less scared of the ball was the catcher or first baseman. - The kid who could hit the best was usually the best pitcher too. - We'd break a window and run like hell to a safe haven. Then tattle on the kid who broke it. - We'd cool off by drinking hot water from a garden hose. - We played until supper time, then reconvene to finish the game. - We played until the street lights came on. - If we were on a Little League team, nothing sucked more than losing, not because we lost, but because that meant no Dairy Queen stop. - We did this ALL summer long, several times a day if we could muster up enough players. We were just kids, and life was simple and uncomplicated. We had no idea how complicated our lives would become. So the next time you are out and see some kids playing baseball, just remember, they are creating those same memories that filled your life with joy.

@AugieNash “Let’s speed up the games because people don’t want to spend a lot of time at a baseball game.”

1942 - When the doubleheader was a must have ticket, and no one cared if they spend ALL day at the ballpark. #STLCards

@wonderofscience Adult giraffes can’t smell flatulence.

How giraffes drink.

@NeyenhouseTV My grandson played basketball and baseball in Billings for four years. They take their sports seriously in Billings!

One of the most unreal endings I've witnessed at a basketball game. Billings and Chadwick for the district title was an instant classic! Two-time defending state champs, two buzzer beaters, and refs chased off the court. Small class boys basketball is unlike anything else!

@cardscookie I’m sure you enjoyed it.

@T140v I do 😊

And tonight - Coltrane at the symphony 🎵🎹❤️

@stats_feed There is no greatest. Only "Who is your favorite".

Who’s the greatest comedian of all time?

@AugieNash Remember when we said "Groovy"?

I don't know why, but the weather folks told me to dress for the mid-seventies today. I'm sure glad I saved this. It still fit too!
