David Backes honored at Cardinals baseball game

St. Louis is regarded for having some of the best fans in professional sports, and they showed again why Friday by honoring David Backes at a St. Louis Cardinals game.
The longtime captain of the Blues, who signed a five-year, $30 million contract with the Boston Bruins on Friday, was greeted with a standing ovation at Busch Stadium when he was shown on the scoreboard at the Cardinals game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Backes, a second-round pick (No. 32) by the Blues at the 2003 NHL Draft, had played for them for 10 seasons and been captain since 2011. He posted a bittersweet note on Twitter on Friday acknowledging St. Louis as his home.

But don't worry Boston. The center, who has 460 points in 727 regular-season games, is turning his attention to helping the Bruins.
