Get your rest

There are those big nights in the life of your baseball team. Shaquille O'Neal big. Moeller TV Festival big.

On Wednesday night, the St. Louis Cardinals will have the reigning Cy Young Award winner take the mound on their behalf, owning the highest winning percentage of any hurler in the 130 year history of their franchise. The club will be playing a game broadcast on prime-time network television in a stadium located within the nation's largest city and media center. One of the great baseball players of all-time will be wearing their uniform and patrolling first base in what we can only guess would have to be the prime of his career, while the third-winningest manager in the sport's history calls the shots from their dugout. One of the team's local broadcasters, along with one of their former championship players, will be describing the action on television for a coast-to-coast audience (and beyond) while the team attempts to win the championship of the world's oldest professional baseball league for a record-tying 17th time.

This will be one of those big nights.
