Ricketts Passes
Dave Ricketts, long time catchng coach for the Cardinals, passed away Sunday:
Some called him Dave, most called him Mr. Ricketts, and Yadier Molina, sitting at his locker after the Cardinals' victory Sunday, said he "was like my dad."
"I'm here because of him," Molina said. "He made me into a catcher. I wasn't a catcher when I got here. I learned a lot from him. He was like my dad, there for me since I was 17. He meant so much to me."
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
