Throughout the major league baseball season a Philipsburg-Osceola native was in our news regularly.  When playoffs and the world series rolled around he appeared even more.  Matt Adams was a staple hitter and player for the St. Louis Cardinals this season during their run to the World Series.  Though the Cardinals didn’t come home with a win, Philipsburg residents still welcomed home one of their own with sirens, bells and excitement.  The town held a mini parade for Adams today as he returned home for the off season and Cardinals red and white lined the streets.
