Matt Blaker joined Redbird Rants in May 2023. Graduating with a B.A. in Communications in 2014, he brings a broad perspective on baseball from many angles. He has played, coached, commentated, umpired, and kept official scores in various capacities. Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina, he discovered the Cardinals in the summer of '98. Hooked from afar by the cackle of Mike Shannon on KMOX, and reading every Goold or Leitch article he could find, he probably hasn’t missed a Cardinals game in 23 years and counting. He is passionate about preserving the history of baseball journalism and St. Louis Cardinals history. #HighSockSundays.
