Steve Kline. Flipped off LaRussa from the bullpen. Cardinal legend.

He was married to a blonde French Canadian named Martine. Dude has kids, too.

Kline's interviews on The Morning Grind/Morning After were radio gold- dude has no filter.

He said successful. Scrabble's era as a Card was probably close to or maybe even above 4. Don't think he had a year much under if at all

No no. Just some very heavy drinking, singing and dancing on a couple of occasions down at the Great Grizzly Bear. Good people.

He did a good job after being traded to the Cards, especially in the 2011 postseason, but he was garbage after that.

you may be right I didn't look it up. I just don't remember him ever being very good.

After looking it up, he had a good World Series 2.2 scoreless innings but other than that he wasn't particularly good. He had a 3.97 and an era+ of 95 so 5% below league average plus a 1.45 whip. Imo whip is huge for a mid innings reliever as you're probably depending on other relievers to save your ass a lot with a whip at almost 1.5

Kline was partying at Laclede's one night and sat with us at our table for the hour before the bar closed down. As people were heading out the door I was about to tell him thanks for having some beers with us and to have a good night, but right when I started to talk he turned to me and said, "Where we going after this?" I think he eventually left our little after party at Coronado around 5:30 am.
