The autograph is a souvenir of an interaction with someone famous, a psychological shortcut etched in ink to connect us with an individual we may admire, and a phenomenon which increases the value of sports memorabilia for precisely the same reason.
Well, that wasn't ideal. St Louis CITY SC drops their second game against a very good Seattle Sounders team, depriving CITY the chance to record the most ever points by an expansion team and in turn earning the Sounders a playoff match against Dallas, a team they've resoundingly tied twice this season.
Well, that wasn't ideal. As my wife and our dog lay fast asleep on the couch next to me, I along with those who stayed up way too late saw our beloved St Louis City SC fall to Vancouver 3-0. With home field advantage clinched through to the title game or for as long as we choose to journey through...
So, Sporting Kansas, we meet again...again

After some late game Klaussing, CITY came away with a point, which was good according to my ever-growing soccer...
Soccer in St. Louis dates back to at least 1875 and you couldn't blame anyone for saying that the sport has never been more popular than it is now, in America's First Soccer Capital. But of all the things that go well with soccer, it is a 16th century playwright that is the latest to join the fervor around the...
In its second matchup, CITY once again drew a tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy, but only its 4th on the season which is the second lowest behind only Minnesota United FC which means…..actually I'm not completely sure what this might mean. Now that I think about it, Minnesota has a better record away than at home so they...
