A favorite moment from J.C. Corcoran's morning show on KSD: In October 1998, Corcoran interviewed Cardinal baseball manager Tony La Russa. Near the end of the interview, Corcoran said to La Russa, "You've got about a minute left. I want to hear them. You've got 10 cats. I want to hear their names. Go!" After listing his cats, La Russa asked, "How many is that?" "Nine!" Corcoran responded. "Sh...Shoot...," La Russa said, to laughter from Corcoran and company. After naming his three dogs and two kids, La Russa said, "I've got to come up with that 10th cat, or I can't go home."
I wonder at what point the 10th cat's name occurred to La Russa.
