We were at the Friday night game mentioned in this letter, and I have to say, it was one of the most unusual and touching things I’ve ever experienced at a baseball game. I was very proud to be a member of Cardinal Nation, standing and applauding one of the game’s greats!
I would like to tip my ball cap and express my most sincere and heartfelt appreciation to John Mozeliak, the Cardinals Players and the entire Cardinal Nation for your recognition of Chipper Jones — and the superior manner in which you recognized him while the Braves were in town: the 45 second standing ovation on Friday night — amplified by Jadier Molina when he stepped out from behind the plate; but especially the pregame presentation on Sunday. This had to be one of the classiest things I’ve ever seen in the sport of baseball, if not any professional sport in my lifetime.
