Cardinals Spring Training

No, the St. Louis Cardinals do not have Spring Training in St. Louis, as you all may know seeing that it is snowing in the 636. However, I am currently on Spring Break in Florida and my mom and i decided to take a trip to Jupiter, Florida where the team is currently wrapping up their spring practices.

Today the team started the majority of their current roster starters, including Albert Pujols who, most of you may know, is in a tight contract negotiation battle with the Cardinals management, and went on to defeat the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta drew a lot of Brave fans and from what i experienced alot of Jupiter locals are die hard Cardinal fans which made the experience that much better. Spring training also brings out the kids eager to get autographs for their favorite plays. Although I was on the Braves side sitting near their bullpen it was hilarious to see the kids jumping and running around people twice their size to get their hats, pictures, and gloves signed.

Below is a pic with my mom in front of Roger Dean Stadium where the Cardinals play. If you are a Cardinal fan and you are ever willing to take a road trip or are in the South Florida area, take a trip to the up-scale Jupiter area for some great baseball memories
