Met my second favorite Cardinal player........

[Super Mario]

Second to Yadier Molina, Rick Ankiel is my favorite Cardinals player of all time. Huge fan of his. I have a pretty decent PC of Ank, so I really didn't need anything autographed. I just wanted to go and get my picture with him. I did get an OMLB signed though.

He was a great dude. Hammed it up with my daughter for a bit, and seemed genuinely thankful everyone came out to meet him.

Ank talking to my daughter.

He is a life coach for the Nationals now. Mentors young players.

Ironic, I know.

Very cool. One of my favorites as well. I watched him pitch a few times while he was in AA. Was the most dominant pitcher I have ever seen come through at that level.
