ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - One of the victims of the Twitter storm caused by rumors of who the St. Louis Cardinals were losing in the trade with the Tampa Bay Rays was outfielder Harrison Bader. And he says the way he found out was "every player's worst nightmare."
Basically what happened was that he was on a flight to Los Angeles, so his phone was on airplane mode and when he switched it off, he was flooded with "60 or 70 messages" from family and friends saying he had been traded.
"I'm very thankful for every day that I do get to wear the uniform that I do want to wear and that's obviously a Carinal one," Bader says. "They obviously still have confidence in me to patrol center field and do what I'm supposed to do and do what I'm perfectly capable of doing."
