This post my seem a little biased, but it makes me proud to that Paul Konerko prefers to no wear a 'C' on his uniform to denote him as a captain. Clearly, this guy has the credentials, look at his playoff stats last year and the way he always came through when the White Sox needed them most. He is a leader and now, gets paid like one. Yet, with all that, he still was quoted as saying '...everyone has an equal voice.' This humility is hard to find in sports with guys like TO and Kobe and A-Rod's salary.
I hope other players and teams, both in MLB and elsewhere, see what happens when everybody plays for a common goal. The 2005 White Sox didn't win with great hitting or a single superstar to carry them. They saw that as a group they could accomplish more and ignored the stats that don't matter and focused on what does, winning. That is why they won, and if they can achieve the same synergy as last year, they could repeat.
That is if the Cards don't make it to the World Series.

Oh, I wouldn't worry too much. We've lost over half our roster (with one or two guys leaving with a bitter taste in their mouths). Things are awry in Buschtown.
But then again, as long as we possess the Great Pujols things will be alright.
