Incredible Cardinals Storytime

With Ed Wheatley
| 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. | Neighborhood Reads Back Yard
Deep in Busch Stadium’s left field, you’ll find a wall of heroes. The greatest Cardinals of all time are painted there, reminding us that dreams do come true. On this wall, Dizzy Dean still throws his flaming fastball. Lou Brock flashes his supersonic speed around the bases. Ozzie Smith puts on a show with his fielding magic. Just like players today, young Cardinal fans dream of joining their heroes on the wall. Will you join them one day too? Baseball historian and enthusiast Ed Wheatley tells the story.
