Today on April 5, marks the day that baseball is officially underway in the Gateway City and for Cardinal fans all around. Every year when the Cardinals play the first game at Bush Stadium there are several traditions that go on. The famous Budweiser Clydesdale’s take a lap around the track before Cardinals Hall of Famers and current stars make the same circle. Cardinal Nation gets to enjoy the one of a kind experience that is like no other. Opening Day for other teams have traditions like the Cardinals do but nothing compares to the way St. Louis does it. They play the San Diego Padres and is the second year in a row that the National League West helps bring in the new season. Good Luck to the St. Louis Cardinals and all the other teams this baseball season.
