The World Series may be over, but the Spirit of St. Louis lives on. The Cardinals may have lost the title to the Red Sox, but their fans are considered by many to be the best in baseball.

St Louis fans are passionate about their team, but will applaud good plays, even if it’s the visitors robbing the Cardinals of a home run. Cardinal fans are very polite in a friendly Midwestern kind of way.
So it came as a big surprise to see the Boston Red Sox take out a full page ad in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, thanking the Cardinal fans “from one great baseball town to another”. The ad shows two young baseball fans, dressed in opposing Cardinals and Red Sox gear, cheering on their teams in the spirit of sportsmanship.
See the ad here: Red Sox thank Cardinals fans.
In the ad, the Bostonians thank the people of St. Louis for “The warm Midwestern welcome extended to our team.” The ad is signed by the Red Sox owners, who proclaim,”So we tip our caps to each and every one of you. We look forward to seeing you again next August. Let’s hope it’s just a prelude to meeting again in October.”
Well played, Boston! The Red Sox are not only the team of the century with three World Series wins, but are also a very classy organization!
