    The humility of this moment reminds me of Mariano R. last game. There's no tromping around acting like the best player in baseball, or exploiting how awesome he is. He puts his head down on the bases fighting tears, hugs his teammates, thanks the crowd, continues to fight his tears and then disappears into the dugout. Amazing.

    Him obviously fighting back tears while rounding the bases and that hug with Waino and Yadi just said it all. His love for the Cardinals organization, the team, the fans, the city. He clearly will miss it and so will everyone else. I personally support management's decision, but in no way do I still want to see him go, but I think it's the right route.

      @johnscalf2379 7 лет назад +3

      +Mick D +Mick D I would love to see him continue wearing the Birds in the Bat uniform, but I honestly don't see any room for him in the out field. With Grichuk, Piscotty, Jose Martinez, Moss(who can play right when Adams or someone else is playing first), and Wong(who can play center). if he wants to continue playing, I think he might be better off looking for an American League team to play DH.

    • @MickDRangerX
      @MickDRangerX 7 лет назад

    It is almost hard to not tear up a little when seeing this and thinking of him somewhere else next season. He is a great player and a great human being who deserves a lot of respect. God bless Holliday and his family no matter what life holds in store for them. Holliday will no doubt make the Cardinals' HoF. If it weren't for injuries his career would lead to Cooperstown. I will certainly miss his leadership and his excellent and unselfish playing in St. Louis.

    Sometimes I come back to this just to remember. Never was there an underappreciated Cardinal like Matt Holliday. Up or down, he's now a Cardinal forever and I wish I could go back and just appreciate seeing him in person one more time. He was never a super dependable player butt sometimes the most dependable, if that can be made sense of. Like, he would fail in big spots, but excluding the 2009 NLDS, he was good enough that when he ca.e through in huge situations, like this, you just weren't surprised.

    Matt had tears in his eyes coming up to bat....and I did too. His final season with the Cardinals cut short by a Cubs pitcher Mike Montgomery, throwing at his hands, and trying to break the bones there, and succeeding in breaking his thumb. Its not a Cardinals vs Cubs thing, that was cheap baseball and we lost a farewell season to a legend because of it.

    I caught a Matt Holiday home run one game in St. Louis. Day time game, midweek. My buddy and were sitting in left field. Saw two seats open on the front row at the start of the game. We said hell let’s go there. In the bottom of the first Matt jacks a two run homer straight to me. Went off my forearm, hit my lap, and I snagged it. All on tv. We were so excited and scared at the same time because the stands were packed and knew someone was just late on their way. We celebrated with everyone around us. After,we went back up to the top to buy some celebration beers . Chugged two. And came back at the bottom of the second to those seats. When we came back, everyone in the stands was like where did you go! Matt came out here looking for who caught his homer and wanted to sign it. As they said that, the owners of the seats showed up LOL. We dipped lol embarrassed because we had just sold it to everyone those were our seats haha. It was a great day. This was in May 2016. By far my favorite player during the 2000s. Even after pujols

    This may be my favorite moment in Cardinals history behind the 2006 WS. This was truly a moment that showed what Cardinals baseball is all about. Holliday isn't a Hall of Famer...won't get his number retired....but the fans knew what this moment meant. It was truly the end of an era. 2011-2015 made the playoffs every year...won a title....made another WS. He was our guy after Albert left in the middle of the lineup. Even though he may not be a historically great Cardinal....he wasn't a lifetime Cardinal....only there 7.5 years.....we sent him out like a legend because we knew what he meant for us over that period of time.

Holliday then rolled his eyes at him and walked off. We went back to our seats, and I'll never forget as he was crying, he said to me, dad do I have to wear this Holliday shirt. We promptly went up to the concourse bought a different shirt and threw the Holliday shirt in the trash can.

    In all honesty I'm a huge Pirates fan who lives in St. Louis and I was at the game that night. But My Bucs were out of playoff contention and down 5-0. Didn't mind Holliday hitting that homer in cool moment to see in person.

    Is anyone else sad that this will be the year we see both Molina and Pujols walk onto the field and off the field for the last time....

    His first cardinals homerun was practically the same as his last.

    He's on my first ever jersey. Hated to see him go, but there was no better way to see him off.

    One thing that can make or break a moment like this is the tv announcer. The cardinals announcer Dan, is phenomenal at what he does and makes these moments that much more impactful.
