This weekend took me to Louisville to take part in my best friend's wedding and the bride and groom, being the hardcore Cardinal fans they are, it was only natural to have the rehearsal dinner at the Cardinal Hall of Fame Cafe. It was a unique atmosphere scattered with Cardinals memorabilia throughout the dining area and hallway that would peak the interest of any Ville fan or a Hilltopper fan like me.
Bathroom runs took 10 minutes for me to complete as the walkway to was full of trophy cases with replica championship trophies, autographed jerseys, team photographs of great teams past, and Denny Crum's red sports coat that was so old it favored the color violet.
We dined under huge action photographs of Johnny Unitas as a Cardinal, Paul Hornung as a high school standout, and Wes Unseld was staring down my fish and chips with his large frame and huge pythons. It was a great place to visit since I am a fan of sports in general, especially the history of sports and the pioneers and legends that have paved the way and would destroy a lot of the babies that play today. Fish and chips, beer, and sports history...a perfect combination for any wedding occasion!
