St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum

« 06/10/2005 | Main | Seabol, hit ball, win game. »

I was lucky enough to be given tickets to the June 6 Cards/Red Sox game. Since the friend who got me the tickets is associated with the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, I spent a pleasant afternoon killing time before the game at the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum, located in the IBM&HoF at 111 Stadium Plaza. In addition to the Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum, the IBM&HoF handles stadium tours as well.

Below the fold, a few pictures to give you a taste of what to see there. I'll be posting more of the pictures over at my own blog in a bit...

Don't you mean the 2005 St. Louis Cardinals? I'm pretty sure I see Mark Grudzielanek and David Eckstein's pictures. Also, is that a Danny Haren jersey in that 2004 NL Champions exhibit?

That was Haren's jersey. Don't know why they'd put that in there.

Do they have anything in there honoring Darryl Kile?

My memory was that was the '04 Cards roster, though my memory is mistaken (I'm getting old and senile). Corrected. Thanks!

There are some mentions of Kile and his untimely death. Not a complete exhibit that I remember seeing.
