The Fancestor Episode 9: Fans of the St. Louis Cardinals

Lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan Jay Tierney joins the show to discuss his fandom. Jay shares his early memories of following the Cardinals and the impact of players like Ozzie Smith and Mark McGwire on the franchise. Jay addresses the feud between Ozzie Smith and Tony La Russa, the legacy of Mark McGwire in St. Louis, and the current state of the Cardinals’ rivalry with the Chicago Cubs.

The conversation also touched on the decline in attendance at Busch Stadium in recent years, attributed to the team’s performance and ownership decisions.

Jay explains his continued love for baseball and the Cardinals, particularly through sharing the experience with his children, and discussed his thoughts on Hall of Fame candidates including Yadier Molina and Salvador Perez.

The Fancestor is a podcast about that will speak to 30 fans from 30 Major League Baseball teams to determine exactly why we are fans. Through interesting conversations, it strives to understand and explain fandom: how we became fans, the moments that tested our fandom and why – at the end of the day – we are still fans.
