Fair share of "heart-wrenching games"

Posted Tuesday, May 1, 2007, at 7:16 AM

Perspective from Dave Van Dyck, writing in today's Chicago Tribune.

For whatever reason, the Cardinals have contributed more than what seems their fair share to the healing process by playing heart-wrenching games after tragedies.

They helped mend a country's heart by being the first to return to the nation's pastime after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, announcer Jack Buck reading a touchingly defiant poem beforehand.

And one day after pitcher Darryl Kile was found dead of heart failure in a Chicago hotel in 2002, they returned to play at Wrigley Field.

And now, Hancock.
