Tonight starts the 2013 World Series between the
Cardinals and
Red Sox. So...who are we picking? We have ties to both teams. When
Autographs 4 Alopecia kicked off in 2011 we received a package from Dave at Roger Dean Stadium, spring training home of the St Louis Cardinals. It had some autographed cards of
Adam Wainwright, Jason Motte, and
Daniel Descalso who are in the World Series this year. Another connection to the Cardinals is
Jamie Pogue. Jamie played in the Atlantic League for the
Long Island Ducks,
Bridgeport Bluefish, and for
Barnstormers Manager Butch Hobson in Nashua. He is now the bullpen catcher for the
Cardinals. We have several cards signed of Jamie from before
Autographs 4 Alopecia started.
Later in the summer of 2011, we got a package from
Mike Napoli that had one of his catchers masks autographed and some cards. When he was with the Rangers we said his heart was as big as Texas...now he's just Boston Strong! After this season with the
Red Sox he is due for another big contract! ...and we love his beard!
Here is a link to the
Mike Napoli post...

So, we like both teams and are happy for them, but here are our picks...
Blake... Red Sox in 5
Gavin... Red Sox in 5
Kyle...Cardinals in 7
Mom...Red Sox in 6
Dad...Red Sox in 7
So, who is your pick?
