Hello. I’ve covered St. Louis sports for 40 years. 2023 inductee, Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Proud to work for iconic KMOX radio in St. Louis. #STLCards video and written commentary at SportsHubSTL.com
Can former #STLCards closer become a successful starting pitcher? He was a strong starter in the STL farm system. There are many questions including: would the Cardinals and Helsey be interested in a reunion.

REDBIRD REVIEW: Is Helsley Return to Cardinals Fantasy Land?
I enjoy the St. Louis baseball tradition of fans and media pleading with the front office to bring back former Cardinals who were traded, or released, or allowed to walk away as a free agent.
