CARDINAL RULES
Oh the inhumanity. Oh the suffering.

Just ask Boston Red Sox fans. Baseball's opening day has happened to fall on Good Friday, which means there will be no hot dogs, sausages or pepperoni pizza for the faithful. Since the Catholic conflict of interest was discovered, the archdiocese has fielded several requests to waive the infield Fri rule. After all, the ban was lifted for Saint Patrick's Day 1995 and 2000, because who could possibly wash down green beer with a slab of tofu? Unfortunately, the Cardinals are balking, and thus far, the baseball argument has struck out.

There's no crying in baseball. For many, there's no hot dogs, either.
Lent is one rough, penitential season.
