Some fans might buy tickets to a specific Cardinals game because the home team is playing the Cubs. Others plan their trips to Busch Stadium on the basis of bobbleheads. Here are five don’t-miss games for seekers of swag.
May 20, vs. Arizona: Yadier Molina garden gnome. Punk kids won’t even think about stealing anything from your yard with Yadi behind the rosebush.
June 19, vs. Texas: Adult Cardinals dress socks. Because nothing says “business time” like the Birds on the Bat on your feet.
July 15–17, vs. Miami: 2006 World Series Anniversary Weekend. Can you believe it’s been 10 years? Celebrate with beer steins and replica rings and jerseys.
August 5, vs. Atlanta: Cardinals fedora. Perfect for cheering on your favorite team or whacking your rival Mafia don.
September 9, vs. Milwaukee: Eddie Gaedel bobblehead. The shortest player ever will be honored with what we hope will be the shortest bobblehead ever.
