Jaime Garcia has been traded, but the memories live on - A Hunt and Peck

Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south? Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed.

MLB: St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers

Jaime Garcia was somewhat of a polarizing player in Cardinals fandom. To some he was a "headcase", to others he was a master of his craft, turning pitching into a form of artistry, the movement graceful, like that of a painter stroking a canvas. To other others, he was meticulously groomed eye-candy. There were no shortage of opinions on Jaime, or as he was affectionately called in these parts "Hotme", but through all those opinions there were memories made, and with the announcement of he being traded to the Braves, we would be remiss to not reflect on some of them.

For today's hunt and peck @vivaelbirdos please tweet me some of your favorite Jaime Garcia moments...

@lil_scooter93 @vivaelbirdos The Santana/Garcia game from 2010.

I believe that game is this one from April 17, 2010.

@lil_scooter93 @craigjedwards @vivaelbirdos And Cards/Brewers last April. Listened in radio at work, afternoon flew by. Lots of fist pumps!

@lil_scooter93 @vivaelbirdos 2011 World Series Game 2. Great performance.

Not a lot of video of Garcia from that game, but here is the box score.

@lil_scooter93 saw him pitch in Milwaukee in 2010, was disappointed I did get to see Carp pitch, but Jaime threw a gem.

Sitting two tables across from him during breakfast at the First Watch in Clayton on the morning of Game 6 in 2011. Good times. https://t.co/yF65vOd6ue

@lil_scooter93 met him at the Cards Caravan in '08, asked him what he called his outpitch, he and @david23freese came up with The Devastator
