On this holiday of gratitude, there are many things we’re thankful for. The St. Louis Cardinals are on the list — the current team, absolutely, but the long and rich history and tradition of the franchise overall make us proud and thankful to be part of Cardinal Nation. (As does beautiful Busch Stadium, especially at sunset.)

And we’re thankful for you — each and every one of you who reads Aaron Miles’ Fastball. It’s a joy to be able to write about our favorite baseball team, but even better to know that what we’ve written is being read. If you’ve taken the time to comment or to tweet us your thoughts, an extra thanks — we definitely appreciate the interaction and feedback.

Wishing you a great Thanksgiving!

Chris and Tara
