Bidwill's gesture earns Musial award

When the Rams left St. Louis, they also left a void in the community in a couple of places. In one such case, Cardinals president Michael Bidwill stepped in, donating $10,000 to the St. Louis chapter of the National Football Foundation so it could hold its annual banquet to honor local high school football players.

Now, Bidwill is being honored himself, for the gesture. He will be recognized at the Musial awards -- named for St. Louis Cardinals baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial. The awards banquet is in St. Louis Nov. 18.

"Michael Bidwill's actions embody the goodness and decency we seek to celebrate with the Musial Awards," St. Louis Sports Commission president Frank Viverito told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "This was something he certainly did not have to do and did not seek credit for. In light of everything, he sets a perfect example of what it means to be a 'good sport.' "

Just the other day, Bidwill -- seen below with Cardinals (and Rams) Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams this past week at the Hall of Fame game -- was helping another person with St. Louis ties -- rescuing the stranded family of Kurt Warner so they could get to Warner's Hall of Fame party in Canton.
