The St. Louis Cardinals have given all of there fans multiple heart attacks over the past few months. What they have accomplished is nothing short of amazing. Then as soon as all the celebrating was over they threw their fans one last curveball before letting them go and saying,"see ya in the spring" Future Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa retires turning a page in Cardinals baseball history. Immediately afterward the scramble to find another manager to lead the defending world champs next season.Many were considered for the job. As high profile as Terry Francona to the unknown to the rest of baseball in third base coach Jose Oquendo. They interviewed 10 candidates in 10 days. Once all were interviewed they didn't waste much time in making a decision. As of Monday, November 13th 2011 the cardinals will name former cardinals cather Mike Matheny the new manager of the cardinals. Matheny played as a cather for the cardinals starting in 2000 and was know for his defense as Yadier Molina is known now. Many didn't believe that the cardinals would hire someone with zero major league managing experience. They did and we will see how it unravels in the upcoming season.
