Fun Facts about St Louis Cardinals Baseball

Today may seem like an ordinary day for some, but for those of us that bleed CARDINAL red, there is only ONE thing happening today... and that's Opening Day for the St Louis Cardinals!  The Cards get started with a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds at 4:10 p.m. ET.  This is the first of six games between the Cards and Reds with Johnny Cueto (CIN) and Adam Wainwright(STL) on the mound.
