The Hancock Story

In all of the talk about whether baseball teams should or should not have beer in their clubhouses, I have yet to hear any of these guys mention that Hancock's team, the St. Louis Cardinals, have been owned for years by Anheiser-Busch (they play in Busch stadium!), who bought the team for the sole purpose of selling beer. (Incidentally it was Gussie Busch who ran the St. Louis Browns out of town, according to Wikipedia, I did not realize that). Trivial perhaps but potentially significant to the story, no?
