Each year we pause on this day and remember that there are more important things than the Cardinals, frustrating baseball games and egotistical umpires.

We recall what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, honoring the victims in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on that horrific day, as well as remembering the unity we felt throughout the country in the days afterward.

We also remember Jack Buck and his incomparable eloquence with this tribute when baseball resumed.

We definitely remember.
