Cards Snubbed By Obama? No Traditional White House Call Following Game 7 Win

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Was President Barack Obama too busy watching the “Operation Repo” marathon or something else last Friday night?

When KMOX host Charlie Brennan asked now-retired St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa how the traditional call of congratulations from the White House went, La Russa suddenly realized that…it never happened.

“That’s a good point, I hadn’t really even thought about that,” replied a surprised-sounding La Russa, who can be forgiven for having a few other things on his mind over the past week. “As we were getting into the World Series we had a call from the White House to make sure they had the correct number for my office.”

But as the wild, champagne-drenched celebration of the team’s 11th World Series title was going on in the locker room, that phone never rang.

Baseball is fine ‘n all, but Obama is really interested in al-Akhdar’s prospects this year.

[ClearCase_guy]

It's America's traditional pastime.

Why would Obama care about it?

Thanks for the 1st hand account. The MSM kept harping reports that the crowd threw roses at this clown.

[the invisib1e hand]

baseball separates the men from the boys.

Ergo...

Yeah, White Sox Fan. As I remember the story, the reporter asked him to name his favorite White Sox player and Obama couldn’t name one.

[Popman]

Muslims don’t care about baseball..... I would think at least he would put a front on....

[skeeter]

The Giants had their turn. Obama was an ass. Cost ‘em a rest day.

[GoCards]

Oh no! I remember vividly. They had a small video ceremony and GWBush was shown and the crowd went NUTS!! When Bam Bam showed up on mound there were loud boos, it was hysterical.

Tony La Russa and Pujols attended The Glen Beck Rally in DC...Obama may call them when it is “convenient” for him. Should the Cardinals care? hell NO

[AGreatPer]

He will get the St. Louis vote no matter what. He simply said, scrw them.
