On Line Museum Celebrates Team History, Showcases Extensive Cardinals Collection, Engages Fans
ST. LOUIS, Mo., January 30, 2011- The St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame
and Museum debuted a new website (www.cardinals.com/museum) today that
showcases the team’s extensive collection of baseball memorabilia, while
encouraging fans to explore and learn more about the rich 121-year
history of the St. Louis Cardinals.
The web site (www.cardinals.com/museum) includes hundreds of
historical photographs, several fresh virtual exhibits and dozens of
informative videos that go inside the collection and highlight the
biographies of some of the greatest Cardinals in team history. The new
web page (www.cardinals.com/museum) also has interactive elements
designed to encourage fan input and engage fans.
“We wanted to create a place to showcase our vast museum collection,
while giving fans a chance to learn more about the rich history of the
Cardinals,” said Bill DeWitt III, President of the Cardinals.
The Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum collection is the largest
team-held collection in baseball and is second only to National Baseball
Hall of Fame in terms of size with over 15,000 memorabilia items and
over 80,000 archival photographs. While the museum has been closed since
2008, artifacts from the Cardinals Hall of Fame museum are currently
featured throughout Busch Stadium, including in the team’s front office,
Cardinals Team Store and Cardinals Club, as well as part of periodic
special exhibits within the community.
“This website is a great way for us to further the educational mission
of the museum, while making our collection available to fans all over
the world in a free and fun format,” said Vicki Bryant, Vice President
of Event Services and Merchandising. “Our museum staff and Major League
Baseball did a fantastic job with the designing the web site to bring
the rich history of the Cardinals alive.”
The virtual museum (www.cardinals.com/museum) features several unique
exhibits such as the story of the Cardinals 11 World Championships, Stan
“The Man” Musial and a look at how the Cardinals got their name. The
website also includes a “Question from the Fans” section where fans are
encouraged to give their personal account of games, eras or players.
This interactive ability will allow the team to gather and share
individual experiences as they continue to tell the story of the
organization.
Other sections of the site (www.cardinals.com/museum) include,
“Cardinalographies,” an in-depth look at an era in Cardinals history or
biography of a Cardinals great; “Inside the Collection,” a unique look
at individual items from a special Cardinals moment; and the Cardinals
Museum “Theme of the Week,” where each week the museum will offer a
topic that will be discussed at length. The site is designed to be
updated often as new chapters in team history are written each season.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker has issued a warning to residents of the County about a phone scam that is circulating once again. Danker says his office has received “multiple reports” of attempted phone fraud. The complaintants said they had received calls from persons claiming to be a grandchild or close relative, who says they’ve been arrested.
The caller typically tells the victim they need a large amount of money, wired to their location, so they can post bail and be released from custody. Danker encourages anyone who receives a similar call, to report the matter to your local law enforcement agency. If you have reason to believe the call is legitimate, contact a family member or the law enforcement agency, where the “family member” is allegedly being held, prior to sending any money.
You may recall, a few years ago, we told you a Cass County resident received a similar call, from a person claiming to have been a man’s grandson, who was allegedly arrested in Canada. The potential victim questioned the caller, who became defensive. The person who was calling was also unable to answer a “Challenge” question to confirm their identity…it was a question only the man’s real grandson, would have been able to answer. The victim refused to send any money to the caller.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said this (Monday) morning, that a pickup truck stolen from Villisca over the weekend, was recovered at around 5:20-p.m. Sunday, in a farm field about one-quarter of a mile south of Griswold. The vehicle was unoccupied. Officials say anyone with information about the pickup should contact Montgomery County Crimestoppers at 1-800-432-1001.
The white, 2009 Ford Ranger extended cab truck, was taken from in front of a home in the 500 block of East 8th Street in Villisca, sometime between 11:30-p.m Saturday, and Noon on Sunday.
The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, will act on approving a Resolution setting the posted weight limits on county bridges. The move takes place during the Board’s meeting at the courthouse, which begins at 9-a.m. In other business, the Supervisors will hear a report from Zoning Administrator Rich Hansen, with regard to zoning changes, and, act on appointing a trustee for the Pymosa Township (the person who held the position previously, has moved from the township). The Board will also review and discuss proposed Fiscal Year 2013 budgets.
