Everyone who is anyone is gearing up for the 2006 MLB season. My first step is going to be purchasing my St. Louis Cardinals Opening Day tickets. It is a tradition in my family for us all to take the day off of school or work to head down to Busch Stadium for the Cardinals Opening Day. The Cardinals have played better than they did in 2005, but I’m no fair-weather fan! I still buy Cardinals tickets and take the family out to support our local boys and the sport we enjoy so much.
This year’s spring schedule looks exciting with the Cardinals appearing on the New York Mets schedule six times. The St. Louis Cardinals regular season home opener will be April 10, 2006 against Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium. April’s schedule starts with some exciting match ups like Cardinals versus Chicago Cubs games and Philadelphia Phillies games. Hopefully there will be some May flowers blooming when I use my San Diego Padres versus St. Louis Cardinals tickets. Come July, I will be wishing I had bought Cardinals box seats as the weather heats up and we host the Atlanta Braves games from the 17th to the 19th.
The Cardinals have been rebuilding and retooling their weapons for a year now in an attempt to achieve the goal of becoming a World Series game contender once again. Tony La Russa has been working hard to mesh together our mix of young and veteran players and hopes that his efforts will translate into a winning season in 2006. We lost some key players after 2005 but have replaced them with talent like Junior Spivey and Juan Encarnacion . Look for Mark Mulder, Chris Carpenter and Jeff Suppan to make their mark this season as well. I am more excited than ever to use my St. Louis Cardinals tickets because this team looks like it can really do something special in 2006.
In St. Louis there are plenty of sporting events to keep a baseball fan busy in the off season. But, going to St. Louis Rams home games or watching St. Louis Blues hockey games on TV, really never compares to watching my favorite baseball team try to make it to the World Series game year after year. Cardinals baseball games are a part of my history and of my future. I bought World Series tickets in 2004 when the St. Louis Cardinals battled the Boston Red Sox. Hopefully the Cards will win their Los Angeles Dodgers games, Houston Astros games and Arizona Diamondbacks games for a spectacular 2006 season.
