I was fortunate to learn from George as a player. Enjoyed every second that I could sit and talk and learn. I would catch in for him every chance I could while he hit fungos to inf/of just to listen to all of his knowledge of the details of the “Cardinal Way”
Augie Nash@AugieNash

Former Cardinals Coach Spotlight - George Kissell George Kissell was a highly influential figure in baseball, best known for his remarkable 69-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Born on September 9, 1920, in Watertown, New York, Kissell dedicated his life to the sport, serving in various roles including minor league player, manager, coach, scout, and instructor, as well as a Major League coach. He never played in the major leagues himself, but left an indelible mark on the Cardinals and the game through his teaching and mentorship. Kissell joined the Cardinals in 1940, signed by Branch Rickey as an infielder, primarily playing third base and shortstop. Standing at 5'8" and weighing 168 pounds, he was a right-handed batter and thrower who peaked at the Class B level as a player. His playing career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served three years in the U.S. Navy. Upon returning in 1946, he transitioned into a player-manager role and eventually focused on coaching and instruction. Widely regarded as the architect of "The Cardinal Way" - a philosophy emphasizing fundamentals, teamwork, and strategic play - Kissell shaped generations of Cardinals players. From Stan Musial in the 1940s to Mark McGwire in the 1990s, he tutored countless athletes and managers including Hall of Famers Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, who credited him with profound influence. Torre, for instance, learned to play third base under Kissell’s guidance, a skill that contributed to his 1971 National League MVP award. “He did more for me than baseball, he made me a part of his family. George’s fingerprints, his footprints are all over the institution that is our game. His stamp is literally there to see every day, every game that we play.” - Tony LaRussa Kissell’s teaching methods, often innovative - like bouncing balls off jagged walls and bouncing balls off of a bed of rocks to sharpen reflexes and dexterity - were legendary, as was his ability to explain the game, famously summed up by Whitey Herzog’s quip that Kissell could “talk for 15 minutes about a ground ball.” Kissell’s career highlights include managing minor league teams (e.g., leading the 1950 Winston-Salem Cardinals to a 106-47 record), coaching the Cardinals’ Major League team from 1969 to 1975, and later serving as a roving fundamentals instructor and senior field coordinator. He managed a truly astonishing 2471 games in rookie/instructional and minor league baseball over 20 years. His contributions earned him numerous honors: induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame (2003), the King of Baseball award (1993), and the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame (2015). The Cardinals’ spring training clubhouse in Jupiter, Florida, bears his name, and the organization annually presents the George Kissell Award to a minor league coach. He died on October 7, 2008, at the age of 88, from injuries sustained in a car accident in Pinellas Park, Florida, where he was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his daughter. Kissell’s legacy endures through "The Cardinal Way," a manual he helped develop, and the countless players and managers who revered him as a teacher, a friend and baseball’s ultimate fundamentals guru. "Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I'll remember. Involve me and I'll understand." - George Kissell #STLCards

I love @LarryBowa10 He tells it like it is! Our whole lives we were taught to listen to the people with experience. That there was no substitute for experience. That if you wanted to be good at something listening to someone with experience was invaluable. But for some odd reason it’s the complete opposite in the @MLB They don’t want retired players around because they know we will speak up and the #nerds ruining the game don’t want that! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @ROXSystem @BLocsports @artofhitting @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @GreggOlson30 @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7

Great outing for Jonny Lowe (@TTU_Baseball). 4 pitch mix generated an eye popping 40% whiff rate. Sinker was living 94-96. Uncomfortable look for hitters throughout. @PG_Draft Sr. // ‘26 elig.

Former @MLB player John Vander Wal nailed it on his @facebook post! #shegone The game is in an awful state. I scouted professionally for two organizations over a ten-year period, and a lot of what we’re seeing today is being misunderstood or flat-out misrepresented. First, velocity. Pitchers are not throwing significantly harder across the board. The perceived jump in velocity is primarily the result of technology and measurement changes — specifically where the device picks the baseball up out of the hand. As radar and tracking systems moved closer and closer to release, the readings increased. The arm didn’t change — the measurement did. Now hitting. We’ve reached a point where “gurus” who never played the game at a high level are applying golf swing principles to baseball, largely because golf embraced analytics to identify the most efficient swing paths. The problem is that a baseball bat is not a golf club. In golf, you dump the club to get it on plane. In baseball, you cannot lose the barrel on the back side and still stay on plane consistently. Yet the tech community began preaching backside barrel dump as the answer. Front offices filled with non-baseball “propeller head” GMs bought into the presentations, and this philosophy was pushed aggressively through the minor leagues. I saw this coming as early as 2014. The result? Hitters now dump the barrel in an attempt to get on plane, but they: • Struggle to stay inside the baseball • Lose adjustability • Operate with slower effective bat speed On the pitching side, it’s no better. Pitchers are taught max effort on every pitch. Starters rarely exceed 90 pitches or five innings, work almost exclusively to either arm side or glove side, and live in deep counts. Relievers are almost universally max effort, arm-side only. The consequence is obvious: • Poor command • Inconsistent control • Little ability to sequence or adjust Despite all the technology, pitching command and overall feel are as bad as I’ve ever seen at the big-league level. More data didn’t make the game smarter. It just made it louder — and in many cases, worse. facebook.com/share/p/15V3ET… @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @slider_sinker @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7 @BLocsports @TheRealJHair @WillClark22 @DMEASrecruiting @GDBJr5 @mikepiazza31 @JLucroy20

Ok. What is worse? Paul Stanley having backing tracks toward the end to help AND ADMITTING IT? Or this trash? I’ll take the backing tracks. I’m not gonna slam DLR TOO MUCH-he LIKE PAUL put his ass out there for 50 yrs( or damn close to it) But damn. It’s time. Or use some help. The ‘purists’ who frown on it don’t get that our heros are going away. Aging out. I’ll take them vocally flawed. There are acts now auto tuned , lip synced .. that have NEVER performed vocally live- EVER. These cats did. To their detriment. Not everyone is Elvis and passes w/ their vocals better than ever(22 yr career). Just Sayin. #DLR

In the 7th inning of a ballgame against the White Sox on June 16, 2001, Albert Pujols sac bunted for the only time in his legendary career, and it came against @jslowe50, who is actually on twitter. Albert’s bunt set up the IBB to Bonilla, and then Paquette made them pay.

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @Stathead Albert Pujols has 1 sac bunt in his career. Can we find it?
