Their stadium may be named after a brewery, but that doesn't mean you can get a beer in the Cardinals' clubhouse.
We'll call that a step in the right direction.
Details continue to surface, but the latest police reports indicate that pitcher Josh Hancock was legally drunk at the time of his fatal accident last weekend. In response, the Cards have banned alcohol from their home clubhouse, and are considering similar bans on the road and on some of their charter flights. Three other clubs -- both New York teams and the Pittsburgh Pirates -- have enacted similar bans.
This is the second drunk driving incident involving the Cardinals this season. In March, manager Tony LaRussa was arrested for drunk driving when police in Jupiter, Florida found him asleep at the wheel of his SUV.
