Couple that with Stan's some days good, some days bad health condition, and maybe what they did was all they could. I thought that too many folks were misconstruing the boos for Obama (or maybe I am). Everyone was up in arms about the fans booing the President for "the job he was doing" while I thought it had more to do with the Sox jacket than anything. Who knows...

I thought they should've done more for Stan also. Ted Williams had a much better reception in Boston a few years ago. I was also disappointed that Obama didn't have any St Louis gear on, and deserved to get boos. I understand that he's a Sox fan but he could have at least put a Cardinals hat on. (and got the ball to the plate) Overall, great events though! Overall I think that St Louis represented itself well.
