I once thought that I knew a fair amount about my team (the Cardinals) and baseball. Then I met Jody. It took about five seconds for me to learn that I knew nothing. Not only did Jody know his team better than mine, he knew MY team better than me. He knew stats, history the minor league prospects...everything. He knew all of that but was somehow not overly cocky about it. It was great. He became my go-to for all things baseball and always had some new Cardinals nuggets to share. I miss the Joe Sheehan Newsletters that Jody sent my way. And I miss Jody.

I love that you two had some great times together. He felt so honored to work for you, Scott. I, too, am so happy that I've gotten to spend time with you over the years. You showed us both that being a boss can also mean being an even better friend.
