Busch Stadium / St. Louis Cardinals Baseball
St. Louis, MO
This machine is no longer here. The listing stays up because collectors come back years later to check whether the one they remember was real.
From collectors
On April 10, 2006, the Cardinals opened their new 46,000 seat retro-style downtown ballpark. The first official major league game occurred on April 10, 2006 as the Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6–4 behind an Albert Pujols home run and winning pitcher Mark Mulder.
A commercial area, dubbed Ballpark Village, is being developed adjacent to the stadium over the remainder of the former stadium's footprint.
The stadium is the third stadium in St. Louis to carry the name Busch Stadium. Sportsman's Park was renamed Busch Stadium in 1953, after team owner Gussie Busch. The first Busch closed in 1966, and both the baseball Cardinals, and the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals moved to a new multi-purpose stadium, named Busch Memorial Stadium.
Machine 5 designs: 1) An inside view of the ballpark with the arch in the background,
2) Cardinal on a bat with four leaf clovers MY LUCKY PENNY,
3) Fredbird batting FREDBIRD BORN APRIL 1979,
4) Baseball with Cardinal inside CARDINAL NATION logo.
