So Taguchi

by Yukako from St. Louis, Missouri

"I never knew that hitting a little ball around would cause so much commotion" -Stan Musial

So Taguchi made it clear that it DOES cause a lot of commotion, and the St. Louis Fans are the World's Best!! So Taguchi was like a star that shines through the roughest times. During the World Series and post-season, So has given us the happiest times that all of St. Louis's fans could enjoy. When we were in a tight spot, So would be the one to either help us get out of it, or start a new trend. HOME RUNS!!!!!

So is my hero, because of his strength and courage not physically, but mentally and through the souls of every St. Louisian. As a St. Louis girl, I am a total Cardinals fan. But I am a BIG fan of So Taguchi. As the only Japanese player that was left in the World Series and the only Japanese player without an interpetor, So has the greatest courage anyone can have.

So, why is he my hero?? It's not only his baseball playing, but it is how he puts his soul into baseball and the fans. Thanks for the awesome season CARDINALS!!!!

Also So was friendly and willing to help out with fund-raisings, charity, and more. He was also very loving to his family and friends. I can tell he treasures his wife, son, and pets. Me, my friends, and all of St.Louis LOVE him as a Major League Baseball Player and a strong, couragous friend.

Thanks Cardinals and So for the awesome year at the new Busch stadium and Good Luck next year!!!!!!!!
