I might be the oldest poster on this Board as I turn 89, today. Been a fan since 1947. I was a front runner as we won in 47 and lost in the finals in 48. And, we know what has happened since. But, as a "Glass is half full" type fan, every year has been great, especially at this time of the year.
Younger fans probably don't know how hard it was to follow the tam, since I lived in NY all my life. Pro Football Weekly was a big breakthrough. And, finding that there were FB Cardinals fans living nearby (Jeff Golin, Walter Mitchell) added to my enjoyment.
Way back when, I got to see the Cardinals in person when they played away games at the Giants, and also PS games against NY often at the Yale Bowl. I don't fly, but back in our SB year, my wife and I took three trains from NY to Flagstaff, where we rented a car and toured AZ and NM and got to see two home games, both wins, which I gladly put into my memory bank.
I feel blessed to be a Cardinals fan for such a long time.
