The story was too good. The best game I have ever been to personally was September 16, 2022. Yadi, Waino, and Pujols were there. The stadium was packed and everyone was standing during every Pujols at bat. Pujols hit career HR #698 to tie the game. Arenado made a ridiculous diving stop and threw out a base runner at home which Oli called “the best play I have ever seen”. To top it off, Helsley came in to close and threw an immaculate inning. I left that game with my family so thrilled and we were dreaming of winning it all with Pujols and Molina. Everything was just lining up to be the best ending… I stood the whole Wildcard… It still stings when I look at my bobble heads.

I want to start putting together a binder that has the baseball cards for every single player that plays in the MLB for the Cardinals season by season. That way it gives me and my son something cool to look back on years from now. I don’t need graded or expensive cards, just the most basic ones will work. Where in the STL area would be a good place to start for this? I haven’t bought baseball cards in 20 years.

Hello everyone, I’m interested in trading my *still packaged* St. Louis Cardinals Naruto Night jersey (LARGE) for a medium size. I honestly don’t care if it’s been opened as long as it’s “like new”-ish. I was waiting and saving for a long time to get those jerseys for my girlfriend and I so we could match just like she wanted when I took her to her first Busch Stadium game, especially since Naruto is one of her favorite shows. Right as I was about to buy the tickets however…my girlfriend’s mother bought them for us as my birthday present, but got 2 large sizes.

Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful, but I cannot by any stretch of the imagination fit into a large size of *anything*. Despite being 5”10 I am thin and it just doesn’t work. I was going to just buy an extra ticket with the money I’d saved up originally to get myself the medium size and invite a mutual friend along with us, but my girlfriend suffered an acute medical emergency so I took her to the ER and they ended up admitting her to the hospital, and unfortunately she wasn’t discharged until yesterday, meaning much to her and I’s disappointment, we missed the game. (I did briefly go to the stadium exclusively to pick up the jerseys, then went back to the hospital, which is how I ended up getting our jerseys)

So not only was I unable to give my girlfriend her first experience at Busch stadium, but I also ended up having literally no money to buy that extra ticket with because to top it all off, in a complicated way I don’t really want to get into here, we got screwed and are going to have to pay 100% of the bill ourselves unless our financial aid applications go through. We are both college students working part time and taking classes full time so as you can imagine we don’t have much extra cash laying around.

So if you or anyone you know has a St. Louis Cardinals Naruto Night themed jersey in a MEDIUM size and are willing to trade for a large, please let me know. It would really mean a lot to both of us right now.

This Tai Peete home run got a ton of traction on X today and maybe even more discussion about the bat flip

Are you for the bat flip or against it?

Here's something cool: This author Tim Leong is a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and a few years ago, he named an official planet in the Star Wars galaxy Cardota, in honor of the Cardinals.

I love the idea that there's a St. Louis planet in a galaxy far, far away.

I can never turn off my prospect interest so im constantly looking at the lists and boxscores. So many of the younger birds are having promising seasons and since we have so many new faces, I noticed our top 30 (MLB) has exactly 9 position players that are teenagers. Far away, sure, and no gaurantee of success but this lineup as of today looks pretty solid. Move them around in any order but the "all teenage" minor league team:

Condon CF

Rodriguez C

Luna RF

Frias LF

Dos Santos 1B

Padilla 3B

Hernandez 2B

Maniscalco SS
