Ben,
I know you are new to this site, but you have a lot of Cardinals knowledge, it seems. I would like to include you in our Cardinals' weekly roundtable if you would be interested. Just send me a bulletin back with your email address so I can send you questions. Thanks so much!

Ben, I'm not working in firefox so here's some editor's feedback.
I tweaked your teaser, separated some of your paragraphs, and edited for style. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the awesome work.
Btw...as a Cardinals fan living in Memphis—I love what I've seen from Boggs this season. I would much prefer to see him up there. I was actually surprised Parisi was the one they chose to bring up at the time, but Boggs really hadn't been through too much yet. I look forward to more Cardinals articles!

Hey man no problem about the edits. It looks like we have a lot of the same teams and players as our favorites, so hopefully I'll get to read more of your writing as the summer goes on.
If you keep writing, I'd love to have you contribute to the Cardinals community. It seems like your an experienced writer, and I'd personally love to have you contributing articles.
