State Champions. Part III.

Missouri is as unique as St. Louis' Gateway Arch, the tallest human-made monument in the Western Hemisphere. Saint Louis isn’t exactly Southern or Northern, and is dubbed the western-most eastern town. Missouri is a crossroads, a cultural blend where foods from around the world are celebrated. The Blues and the revered Cardinals are cheered for.  It’s where our Missouri team is proud to work and play. Champions definitely live here.

Dear Datamax Family,

Bringing up the State of Missouri and the City of Saint Louis, for me, brings with it a flood of great memories. Going up into the Gateway Arch for the first time. Attending Cardinals games and canoe trips along the river. And trust me, there’s nothing like an Italian dinner on The Hill.

Cardinal(s) Rule.

Jeff Dobslaw wasn’t born in Saint Louis, but he made it to the Cardinals as fast as he could. He talks about the cultural impact of a team with 11 World Series Championships and a timeless following.
