I was out of town, but I was at Busch in spirit. I kept Cardinal Nation well-represented in Dayton, Ohio, and continue to do so regularly. I never leave the house without something Cardinals-related on me!   more ›

Some food, beverage and retail shops will use solar energy for power.

There may not have been any sunshine bearing down on the St. Louis Cardinals' home opening series, but the stadium will be cooking with solar energy as the season progresses.

St. Louis Ranked 5th Saddest City

Cardinals fans didn't buy the Men's Health report that St. Louis is such a sad city.

Really, Men’s Health Magazine? You think St. Louis is the 5th saddest city in America? Four words: World Series Champions, baby! That seemed to be the general reaction to the Men’s Health report that St. Louis ranked 95th on a list of 100 American cities in order of happiness. The study combined suicide rates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unemployment rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and antidepressant rates and overall moods from SimplyMap.
