I just ran across an article on Alan Benes, who retired after the 2006 season at Memphis. Very moving article. I'll always remember how much a competitor he was. Too bad injuries robbed him of a great career.
According to the article, LaRussa is trying to get him into the Cards front office - a potential "Asst to the GM" job. I hope he succeeds.
