Matt Holliday, Lance Lynn, and Kyle Lohse join Jim Hayes for a Halloween edition of Serving It Up. The former St. Louis Cardinals reunite to talk World Series memories, their time playing for Tony La Russa, and what makes Shohei Ohtani the most unique player in baseball history.
The group shares never-before-told stories from the 2011 championship run, including Lance Lynn's bullpen mix-up, Kyle Lohse's legendary Tony La Russa impersonation, and Matt Holliday's hilarious memories of playing under one of baseball's most intense managers.
They also discuss how today's World Series compares to the Cardinals' 2011 run, whether MLB should keep the ghost-runner rule, and how gambling controversies could affect pro sports.
