Schoendist & AJ Pujols Post Dispatch Photo

Did anyone else see the picture?  

I tell you what, if that picture doesn't warm your baseball loving heart on a cold winters day, you have no soul.

I saw that on the cover of the St Louis Post Dispatch yesterday and was immediately taken aback. What a cool photo. Looks like it could be a Norman Rockwell painting.

Brian Burwell actually has an article up just about the picture.  Here's the link:

Photo of Red and A.J. sparks sweet baseball memories

From the article...

"Red was decked out in his Cardinal uniform, and A.J. wore shorts, sneakers and a T-shirt. The kid was pounding his glove and smiling. The old man seemed to be smiling, too. They seemed lost in a delightful baseball conversation, the Hall of Fame baseball elder and the wide-eyed son of new baseball royalty.

A little boy dreaming, and an old man reminiscing.

I smiled because suddenly I felt like a little boy, too."
