So what do you think should be the top sports stories of 2008? Read along and see if you agree with me. I guarantee you forgot the number one story for this year. One of the most amazing stories I’ve ever heard.
#5, the Cardinals. Troy Glaus for Scott Rolen trade. Glaus stayed healthy, hit 27 homers and 99 RBI. Rolen hit just 11 homers with 50 RBI . Albert Pujols wins the MVP.
#4 434,000 people from around the world and right here in Missouri watched some of the Tour of Missouri bike race making it Missouri’s largest international sporting event.
#3 Columbia native Carl Edwards finishes second overall in the NASCAR’s top two series.
#2 the Missouri Tigers win two bowl games. The Alamo Bowl and the Cotton Bowl over Arkansas,
The #1 sports story of 2008. Its hockey. Blues defensemen Erik Johnson lost for the year when he injures his right knee after getting his foot caught in a golf cart during a team bonding outing at the Lake of the Ozarks this summer.
Have a safe and Happy 2009.
