And you might have been aware that only this weekend did a few proud St. Louisans try -- but, alas, fail -- to stop a nefarious Kansas City Royals fan from dedicating the first commemorative saucer for drinking 200 different beers at the Flying Saucer to 1985 World Series nemesis umpire Don Denkinger.
