|  Anheuser Busch has always had a close tie with the St. Louis Cardinals. Anheuser Busch is head quartered in St. Louis so obviously the two make a good partnership. At one time Anheuser Busch owned the Cardinals, they own the rights to the name on the stadium, and they are the #1 advertiser for Cardinal baseball. Now I am sure that people have heard the Hancock story, Josh Hancock was driving drunk one night, talking on his cell phone, and plowed into a tow truck and died instantly.
Now obviously, St. Louis at first did the right thing. They expressed sympathy to the Hancock family for the loss of their son, and put a patch on their uniform to remember Josh Hancock every time they went out to play this year. The problem starts with Dean Hancock, father of Josh Hancock, sueing the restaurant that served his son beer, sueing the restaurant manager, the tow truck company that his son plowed into their truck, sueing the driver of the tow truck, and sueing the owner the car that the tow truck was picking up. So if I am counting that is five people he is currently sueing. He might also bring into the lawsuit also the Cardinals and Major Leaque Baseball.
The problem is if Dean Hancock sues St Louis Cardinals will this pull Anheuser Busch into the lawsuit. Being that the Cardinals and Anheuser Busch have so many close ties; this could present a possibility. For the sake of Anheuser Busch, and the St Louis Cardinals should cut all ties with the Hancock family. On the lighter side, I wonder why daddy Hancock hasn't thought about sueing Toyota, they did make his son's vehicle, and they have bigger pocket books than the restaurant, the manager, the tow truck company, tow truck driver, and the car owner combined.
