Batting .500 - Affton and Arnold Parades


Generally speaking, Congressman Carnahan had a better weekend than most sports fans in St. Louis. The Congressman, staff and volunteers enjoyed a bright, warm and well attended parade in Affton on Saturday. Accompanied by Retired Firefighters of Local #73 as well as State Representative Michael Vogt and candidate Bob Burns, Congressman Carnahan had quite an entourage.

Sunday's parade in Arnold, on the other hand, was rained out. Oh well,- if Bruce Sutter couldn't have his number retired and the Cardinals couldn't play because of rain- the Congressman was in good company. Batting .500 is still a good weekend- even relative to Cardinal fans' inflated expectations for Albert Pujols.

* Update - Field reports tell us that despite the Cardinals game being rained out, Hall-of-Famer Bruce Sutter's number was officially retired in a ceremony on the field.

Your thoughts?
