Missourians are a truly one of a kind. Although we may all live in the same state, it can sometimes be hard to find similarities with those who live on the other side of Missouri. However, there are some things that are just universally acceptable across the state that you will likely find in every Missourian’s home. These are the 10 undeniable things you’ll find in every Missouri home:
Missouri is a baseball state. Whether you like the St. Louis Cardinals or the Kansas City Royals, you're a die hard fan. We have two championship teams in one state and everyone is baseball crazy. So even if you only wear your glove when you go to watch your favorite team, everyone in Missouri has owned a baseball glove.
The Bass Pro Shop is an iconic Missouri outdoors retailer. You have likely visited the massive Outdoor World Bass Pro Shop in Springfield. Most of the time you left with a t-shirt but you at least had a Bass Pro magnet at your house.
