How Cardinals' Sonny Gray said goodbye to Coliseum with win No. 100

There are many reasons why Sonny Gray enjoys returning to the place he first called home in the majors, and not all of them are from the past like the photos of his oldest son with Stomper, the Oakland Athletics' pachydermatous mascot. “Dude, I love it,” Gray recalled saying teammates. Gray added a fitting bookend to his relationship with this concrete ballpark by the Bay before its ballclub moves elsewhere: In his first appearance at the Coliseum back in 2013 he got his first career win, and in what is likely his final appearance at the Coliseum he earned win No. 100.
