What a treat for St. Louis Society members.  This year, as our members attended the Cardinals vs. ???? at Busch Stadium, none other than Tony LorRussa stopped by to visit.  Members were who attended this event not only had transportation to and from the game and discounted tickets, but they got to shake hands with the Cardinals manager.
