Cardinal Cowboy

The Cardinal Cowboy is the creation back in 1982 of the combination of the famous Augie Busch red Cardinal cowboy hat and an avid St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan. Originally its creator went to St. Louis Cardinals baseball games wearing the red Cardinal cowboy hat and a Cardinal jersey. Photos of this avid Cardinal fan are documented as far back as 1988.File:http://www.cardinalcowboy.com/main/images/CardinalCowboyLogoWebTM.jpg
While attending many games every year, the Cardinal Cowboy began to develop a bit of a fan base with people interested in taking pictures with him wearing the red Cardinal cowboy had. Eventually the Cardinal Cowboy began to wear his baseball pants and red turf shoes to make a complete uniform. Then in 2006 the decision was made to post these pictures for fans on the Internet. The website, www.CardinalCowboy.com was created in September of 2006.
The Cardinal Cowboy is seen at between 30 to 40 games a year. He is seen getting pictures with fans at St. Louis Cardinal games and at bars and restaurants around Busch Stadium. The Cardinal Cowboy is also seen at Cardinal games cheering fans with traditional cheers of "Let's Go Cards" and "Do we have any Cardinal Fans over here."
