AP reports that the Missouri Senate voted unanimously Monday to rename a stretch of Interstate 70 in St. Louis that was previously designated the Mark McGwire Highway to the Mark Twain Highway.
First off, Tony LaRussa is gonna be like mega-pissed about this but maybe if he told all those guys to throw out those needles years ago, we wouldn't have these problems.
Well anyway, Mark Twain certainly smoked a lot of cigars and that may or may not have helped him write but for now, I think it is safe to name this highway after him.
For now!
*Whoops! Spoke too soon. NBC Sports today reminds us that Mark Twain was a frequent visitor to the opium dens in San Francisco throughout his life. Hey Missouri State Legislature! Opium?! Come on now! Do you have a third choice in mind? We got kids that live in Missouri, you know.
