When Yadi comes to town, Springfield Cardinals get steak, lobster and lessons

When a big leaguer comes to Springfield, the Cardinals are excited to learn — and also about what is for dinner.

It has become a tradition in the Cardinals clubhouse: The major leaguers — who are making millions of dollars at the highest level — treat the Double-A players during their rehab stints.

Whether it's Yadier Molina, Adam Wainwright, Carlos Martinez or others who make their way through Hammons Field throughout the season, the minor leaguers know they're going to be treated well.

Molina recently treated the Cardinals to a steak and lobster dinner from Metropolitan Grill, the restaurant confirmed to the News-Leader.
