Semi OT: Hilarious St Louis Cardinals Commercial featuring Red Schoendienst

I thought you baseball fans might want to take a look at this. I thought it was pretty funny. The last few years, the Cardinals have been doing these "We Are Cardinals Nation" commercials on Fox Sports Midwest, and this one might be the best one yet. They are all pretty clever. By the way, that actually is 88 year old Red Schoendienst hitting the ball. I doubt the ball went as far as the commercial implied, but his reaction is priceless.

Let me know when he can give back Mantle full range of motion in his right shoulder.

Funny.

My teammate did that in a game. He hit a ~375' HR that hit a truck and it set off the alarm.

Red is a legend in St. Louis. A true lifetime Cardinal!! He has taught the game to a many a young man.

He wasn't 88, but how about a HR by a 75 year-old?
