The St. Louis Cardinals won’t be underdogs when they take on the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series Wednesday night, thanks to a new addition to their starting lineup.
“We’ve replaced (ailing leftfielder) Matt Holliday with the Rally Squirrel,” announced Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.
Rally Squirrel has been a good luck charm for the St. Louis Cardinals all postseason long, and currently has the top-selling jersey in St. Louis.
“It gives us more speed on the basepaths,” first baseman Albert Pujols told OMGG.com. “That little rat has earned this opportunity, and I’m proud to call him a teammate.”
