My friend Andy is a Cubs fan. A huge Cubs fan. I am a Cardinals fan. A huge Cardinals fan.
We agreed that if the Cubs won the weekend series that has just concluded, I’d have to hang a framed photo of former Cub Brian McRae in my office. Since the Cardinals took two of three games, Andy will be putting this photo up, framed, in his office. That is, at least until the Cubs and Cards meet again in July.
Update: Andy now has Willie McGee on his desk (photos included).
And now, here’s a little more about Willie McGee:
- All-Star (NL): 1983, 1985, 1987-1988
- MLB Most Valuable Player Award (NL): 1985
- Batting title (NL): 1985, 1990
- Gold Glove (NL OF): 1983, 1985-1986
- Silver Slugger (NL OF): 1985
- Led the National League in hits (216), singles (162), triples (18) in 1985
- Finished 3rd in the National League in total bases, stolen bases, and runs scored in 1985
