Vince Coleman electrified the basepaths in 1985, setting a rookie record with 110 stolen bases—a mark that still stands today. He continued his dominance over the next two seasons, stealing 107 bases in 1986 and 109 in 1987, making him the only player in MLB history to steal 100 bases in three consecutive seasons. His unparalleled speed and consistency solidified his status as one of the greatest base stealers of all time ⚡

And the Mets...they wanted absolutely no part of him!IMG_0343.jpeg

The sound that stopped Busch Stadium cold wasn’t a crack of the bat or the roar of a crowd—it was the hush that fell when Ozzie Smith walked back through the Cardinals’ doors, decades after redefining greatness in red. The man forever frozen in mid-flip, baseball’s most graceful shortstop, was back where legends are born—not for applause, but for purpose. In a sport obsessed with youth and velocity, this return carried a startling contrast: history stepping forward to shape the future. As Smith takes on his final chapter as senior advisor, emotions ripple through St. Louis like a long-awaited homecoming, equal parts pride and disbelief. What does it mean when the Wizard returns—not to play, but to guide? And why does this moment feel bigger than baseball itself?
