The biggest (and best) holiday in St. Louis is Cardinals' Home Opener Day. Not much business outside of baseball gets done on this day because of all St. Louis decides to call in to work so they can party.
In addition to catching the first innings of 2023 Cards baseball, these Home Opener attendees also got to soak up the first beams of St. Louis' spring sunshine, too. People were happy, the beer was flowing and everyone was smiling.
Our photographer Theo Welling stopped by Busch Stadium for the first home Cardinals game of 2023 and this is what he saw.
