Going into Monday night’s game, the last Cardinals walk off home run was David Freese in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series(Thank You Joe Schwarz). It had been a severely long time since the Cards hit a walk off bomb at home to seal a victory. Monday night, around the stroke of 11 p.m., [...]
On September 2nd, Jason Motte and the St. Louis Cardinals will promote a special event at Busch Stadium. The Pirates may be in town making an attempt to rob the Cards of a victory, but Motte and the home team will be tackling a different beast. Cancer. The special night is called “2014 Strike Out [...]
