THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals put on a Sunday-evening show for their fans and the national audience watching on ESPN. It was Oldies Night at Busch Stadium, and three legends led the way to a 15-6 victory over the Giants for the Cards’ first series win since taking...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW It’s Thursday, May 12. We have day ball this afternoon inside the birdhouse known as Busch Stadium, where the Orioles and Cardinals put the wrapper on their three-game series. The teams split the first two games, so the aviary bragging rights...
