Bread and circuses at the baseball game, except the bread, wrapped abound a hot dog, costs $5. Another wacky thing they do at Busch Stadium to entertain the crowd is to hold a fake dance contest. One contestant is wearing Cardinals something-or-other, the other a shirt of the visiting team. It's sponsored by Hardee's, a Midwestern and Southern fast food chain that sells things that tend to make you dead faster.
Anyway, this goes on between innings in a grass strip behind center field, right below the giant video screen seen yesterday. The visitors' supporter is always geeky, dancing like an arthritic robot. The home team's representative might actually be talented, or at least full of reckless enthusiasm. It was the latter on Saturday afternoon. This gentleman's shirt read Die Hard Cards Fan. The back reminded us that Cubs really stands for Completely Useless Before September, the last month of the baseball season. He won, of course, and was awarded a cheap plastic replica of the World Series trophy. Remember from yesterday that the Cardinals win it occasionally and the Cubs win it, well, never.
The crowd went wild.
