"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Tony LaRussa said, “There have been some truly great Cardinals who have come through the organization, but I don’t know anyone greater or more beloved than him.” To whom is Tony referring?

Who is the best all-time second baseman for the Cardinals? Roger Hornsby, a two-time Triple Crown winner? Frankie Frisch, who set a record for most assists in a single season (643) that still stands today? Tommy Herr? Red Schoendienst? Among others who should be in this conversation is Julian “The Phantom” Javier, who played more games at second than any other Redbird (1960-1971). He was a key figure in the World Series championships of ’64 and ’67 and the pennant crown of ’68. While it was his glove that provided the most value for his team, his penchant for clutch at bats helped make him at two-time All-Star and this episode’s unsung hero.…

Did you know that The Sporting News named Bing Devine, the Cardinals General Manager, Baseball's Executive of the Year for both 1963 and 1964? It would be no surprise in 1964 as the Redbirds were World Series Champions, but did you know that August Busch fired Devine in the latter part of the '64 pennant run? That's an example of one of the many interesting developments covered in this episode that details the members of the '64 roster.
