  • New Cardinals Hall of Famer Matt Holliday recalls how the Busch Stadium crowd welcomed him in his St. Louis debut: "The realization that I had just played in St. Louis in front of that fanbase as a St. Louis Cardinal was something I'll always remember."
    He adds after his first stint with the Cardinals, "there was nowhere I wanted to be but St. Louis."

      Hearing Matt's story about tearing up and then sharing that moment again with his buddies in front of him along with the other Hall of Famers and others, and US, was pretty special.

    Matt Holliday is one of the truly good people in American sports. He was a joy to watch in Colorado purple and Cardinal red. He'll always be a household favorite of ours.

    I was so disappointed when Matt left Denver. He was 'the Rockies'! But I also understand that it was best that Matt become what he should be - a champion and the Cardinals were the best.

    I remember buying a pair of Green seats row B seats 1 & 2 dead center behind Yadi to watch Holliday's 1st home game. He had a double and nearly tripped over 2nd base. It was awesome....
    I always remember watching him as a Rockie, saying damn I wish we'd trade for him. I mean we've gotten some nice player from Colorado.... Holliday, Aeranado (even though Holliday went to Oakland for a short time)

    I wonder if his son sees his happiness with cardinal red and will eventually come over

      You don't come over.You play to win and fun... FUN is FUN I'm happy and proud FOR YOU.

      Oh you know his son sees this and wants this.
      He was 7 in 2011 when his dad won the WS here. Can you imagine your dad being a part of that historic run?
      Now that obviously doesn’t mean that we automatically get him at some point lol but I have to imagine that he dreamed of playing for the Cardinals as a kid.

    That attempt to catch with his junk was epic. His decision to sit out game 7 was HUGE.
