      Seriously tho. The finger wag was lame AF, you barely made it back to first after being almost thrown down by an aging catcher after a pitch....not a time to be showing out.

      What do you mean a quick search?
      What you REALLY mean is just LOOK at who the catcher is.
      I know all you millennial kids can't retain any information, but the solution isn't to search it. Relying on constant searches to know ANYTHING is the cause of you kids knowing NOTHING.
      Why in the world would someone need to do a quick search on Yadi Molina? Baseball is their JOB. There's no way they don't know who he is or anything about him.

    I attended the Cardinals Winter Warm Up a handful of times from 2004-2012 where people pay to purchase a spot in line for an autograph. I distinctly remember Yadier being the player who sat and signed autographs the longest. He didn’t speak almost any English back then but he was jumping up from the table, hugging fans and posing with little kids next to the table acting like he was catching for them after the Cardinals had just won the World Series. He went back and forth with my dad for a second and shared some laughs. Great guy.

    Cubs fan here that doesn’t wear red after Christmas for obvious reasons. But Yadi demands and requires a certain level of respect from anyone who is a real baseball fan. His professional yet passionate approach gives a nod to the good ole days when baseball players went to war with their brothers all summer. All while working his ass off for his teammates, the fans, the opposition, and respect for the game he loves. I hope he stays with the cards till he’s done. Guys like this are a dying bread.

The pitcher looked at me and said, "yeah yeah keep talking". I told him to go ahead and pitch and he'll see what happens.

      Agreed. 9 years almost and I love messing with base runners so much. I did something similar to this with a runner. She kept inching off the bag so I give signal to throw back to first. She slides back and safe. Next pitch she inches even further out and I know with my pitcher where I put my mitt is where the ball will go. So I signal a fast curve ball to the outside.
      Girl takes off and my pitcher just hits the deck cause she knows what's coming. The girl was out by a solid 5 steps.. 3rd out of the 9th inning and we are done. Won 6-0. The batter wouldn't look at me and the runner stared at my pitcher till I looked her dead in the eye and she ran back to the dug out.

What a guy! ❤ I hope he's enjoying his retirement, was very sad to see such a legend leave the diamond. Respect.
