Cheer Culture

National broadcasters and media frequently call St. Louis “the best fans in baseball” — a mid-size market that still ranks among the league’s top for attendance and TV ratings. During the 2011 NLDS, a squirrel darting across the batter’s box became the unofficial lucky mascot of that year’s championship run, remembered as the “Rally Squirrel.”
