Rally Squirrel Takes Over Town

St. Louis is going nuts — literally — over Torte and the Rally Squirrel with the Cardinals race for a World Series berth on the line in 2011.

Rally Squirrel T-shirts and embroidered caps are flying off the shelf at SportsPrint in Ferguson. Ladue business owner Ralph Rockamann is a veteran of many of these overnight production campaigns. "We've sold thousands of T-shirts already," he said.

Proceeds benefit Cardinal Glennon Hospital for Children. T-shirts are $14.99 and caps are $15. Customers can purchase them from their show rooms in Ferguson at 6197 Bermuda Rd. or 211 S. Main in O'Fallon, MO.

The Rally Squirrel is definitely taking St. Louis by storm this time around.

According to an NBC sports report, the Rally Squirrel was arrested and spirited off to Guantanamo prison in Cuba.

KMOV-TV Channel 4 in St. Louis reported the squirrel was captured from Busch stadium and moved on Saturday to The Wildlife Rescue Center in Ballwin. 

The center's spokespeople said the squirrel would receive medical attention before being released into their 15 acres of property, ponds and creeks in Ballwin to live.
