About Me

I came up with the Mets, then I was saved by the blessed savior, Whitey Herzog, who brought me to the St. Louis Cardinals where I once played a full season at 2nd base and only had 4 errors! Ryne Sandberg had nothing on me on defense. Ozzie Smith and I used to turn mad double plays.Now I'm the 3rd base coach for the Cardinals and Manager, Tony LaRussa let's me coach an aggressive game. I keep my throwing arm in shape by constantly waving runners in to score.I am also not really Jose Oquendo. I'm Robo-Jose, just a place for fans of myself, the Cardinals and baseball in general.
