American Idol, er, MLB Comes to Town

« Jocketty dodges the bullet again.... | Main | Pujols Makes Me Look Pathetic »


Beginning this weekend, Major League Baseball will be seeking out fans for their "I Live This" advertising campaign. Ryan Seacrest and Bud Selig will be traveling across this great nation of ours to find the country's most die-hard baseball fans.

The new spots will feature fans from six teams that participated in the 2004 postseason, including the Red Sox, Cardinals, Astros, Yankees, Angels and Dodgers. The representative fans from each team will be selected from open casting calls scheduled in each market between January 22 and February 2.

An open casting call where Cards fans can strut their stuff will take place Tuesday, Jan. 25 from 12 - 8 p.m. at Busch Stadium. Visit the Cardinals website for more info.

Make sure to wear your Kurt Kepshire jersey.

a comment at The Birdwatch (by none other than Brian "Redbird Nation" Gunn, himself) notes that Osbourne Earl Smith, Jr. (that's Ozzie Smith, Jr., for those of you not paying close attention) is/was a contestant on American Idol

Would a Landrum jersey suffice?

Speaking of American Idol, I hear Ozzie Smith Jr. is one of the contestants on this season's American Idol. Hear he's pretty good too...

Oh good. Lots of face painting and commentary like "Whoooooo! Yeah Baby!" I can't wait.

Osbourne Smith, Jr. is indeed a contestant, saw him last night and he is actually pretty good. He promised to bring dignity or joy or John Goodman back to St. Louis.

Something like that anyway, I got the impression he was pretty much saying, "Yeah, we got a bit of an inferiority complex in St. Louis, but I aim to fix that."

Wow. Chip off the old block, I'd say.

Or Ken Wilson, Jr. Oh, Baby!
