Opening Day:
Opening Day in St. Louis is a right of passage and an unofficial holiday or “sick” day for most. If you are lucky enough to snag a ticket the game you will get to see those famous Clydesdales and some of baseball’s greatest circle the field. However, even if you do not go to the game there is definitely no shortage of events and watch parties to enjoy this Thursday, April 4th. Check out some of the following happenings if you want to join the “Sea of Red” cheering on the best team in baseball:
