I see Ernie Hays retired after 40 years of being behind the organ for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals sure gave him a grand sendoff before one of their games at Bush Stadium. I'm glad that the Cardinals have kept the organ as part of the music at Busch. Aren't the organist duties being shared by two or three men who were all understudies/students of Ernie Hays?
@RickO4404 - At least Hays got a decent sendoff. The Phillies built Richie Ashburn Stadium...err...Citizens Bank Park without an organ booth, and Paul Richardson had to play in Ashburn Alley, the outfield concourse. The Phils put Richardson out to pasture after the 2004 season, which was the first at CBP. He died two years later, and the Phils are merely using canned renditions of Richardson's performances.
There is only ONE Ernie Hays --The rest are just pretenders to his thrown!!!! He will be missed!!!!!!
