Hope he is not bitter, the Cardinals did offer him a huge contract and he would have been treated Musial like for life in St Louis had he stayed. But I think the front office sighed in relief when he went west.
Does he live in LA ? Does he still have a Foundation based in St Louis ? I think I heard his wife may have been a prime mover in the change

He still has a home in St. Louis County (Wildwood) and is still very involved with his foundation here.
Sure there were times were he could be a little grumpy with the media, but over all he is a great guy. He has done & continues to do so much charity work here. I used to work in West County and his wife frequented the place of my employment at the time. Very nice & unassuming lady. Never once saw the "do you know who my husband is" attitude. According to this 2016 article on Fox Sports he has no bitterness towards St. Louis or the Cardinals. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/s...-molina-051116 Last edited by cardsfan73; 06-04-2017 at 12:34 PM.

He's had 3 100 RBI seasons in LA and is well on his way to another one. Sure he dropped off a bit from the level at which he had been amassing record numbers, but it's not exactly like he's been bad.

Considering that he's a DH now he's been ... adequate. And is making way too much to be a merely adequate DH. I always hate seeing the greats lose a step.
Players usually don't get a say on which cap they wear on their plaque. IIRC Wade Boggs asked for a Devil Rays cap and the hall said "no".

I sure hope that he has accomplished this 'without help'.
