As if the St. Louis Cardinals needed any more embarrassment in a lackluster season that already featured the alcohol-related death of pitcher Josh Hancock in late April and skipper Tony La Russa's drunken driving arrest during spring training.
Explain to me what is "embarrassing" or "lackluster" to the Cardinals about Hancock's death. So it was alcohol related. Is the Cardinals' front office cowering in shame because of the way Hancock died. Or is it more likely they feel sad? Like maybe they could have done something to help him?
