first-place.jpgIn case you haven't noticed yet, there's a new online vote - over there on the right side of the website.   Pick your favorite St. Louis sports personality of the year.  Personally, we'd vote for this guy.

Side Note: Last month's poll asked, "What's your favorite section of St. Louis Sports Magazine?"  We were very pleased to accept "The Tailgate" as the first place winner, with 32% of the votes.  Granted, the vote took place in our own web backyard, but that small detail won't be displayed on the embossed plaque that my Mom is having printed up for me and my SportsMag cyber-buddies at Ray Orf's Trophy Shop.  It's a proud day.
