In light of the recent $25 million per year extension to Ryan Howard, many people are wondering just how much is Albert Pujols worth? Bobby Cox, manager of the Atlanta Braves,  has just put out a figure that had before now been unheard of.  Cox believes Albert’s worth to the St. Louis Cardinals is $50 million per year. Pujols is in the final year of a seven-year, $100 million contract with St. Louis. The Cardinals have a $16 million option on the three-time NL MVP for next season.

The first game of the 2010 season for the St. Louis Cardinals was no disappointment to Cardinals fans.   The Cardinals acclaimed slugger, Albert Pujols, created much of the excitement by hitting 2 home runs today.  Colby Rasmus also joined in on the home run show by hitting a solo homer of his own.  Yadier Molina also hit the first grand slam of the Cardinals season in the 9th inning, solidifying an amazing opening day game for the Cards.  If this is any indication of the rest of the season, Cardinals nation is in for a tremendous year!

A question that is asked quite a bit is about the Commissioner’s Box seats at Busch Stadium. These are hands down, some of the very best seats in the entire stadium!

These seats are located right next to the St. Louis Cardinals dugout. Giving you a view from about 15 feet into the dugout during the entire game. You are literally feet away from your favorite players.

Actual View from your seats:

The experience begins when you arrive at the stadium, you will be given a bracelet to wear denoting the section you are sitting in, in case you leave and come back.  Then you are able to watch batting practice from on the field in a specially sectioned off area in front of the Cardinals dugout. While batting practice is taking place, you are given the opportunity to sit in the Cardinals dugout and have your picture taken and to take a few photo’s as well.

Back at your seats, you have unlimited drinks and food, as much as you’d care to eat or drink, brought to you by the waiter or waitress. It’s truly a great way to enjoy the best baseball team in the land!

Commissioners Box certainly is a treat to anyone, and they often sell out very quickly. To find tickets for the Commissioner’s Box, you can often find them here.

To help you easily find your seats, here is the St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium seating chart!

Jupiter Florida -  The St. Louis Cardinals season is officially over! After coming off a 17-11 spring training game loss to the New York Mets today, the St. Louis Cardinals collectively called an end to participating in the MLB for the 2010 season.  The loss was mainly attributed to the lineup tinkering of the future HOF coach Tony Larussa.  When asked why he is constantly changing the lineup, Larussa answered, “See, that’s the kind of question that will end the session faster than a pause. You got something else you want to ask?.” All in all, its a disappointing way to start and end the season for the Cardinals.

Later in the day an announcement was made by the President of Cardinals Nation. “We are officially shifting our support to the Chicago Cubs”.
