ST. LOUIS -- It might happen on a stage, but the Cardinals Speaker Series at Busch Stadium feels more like a conversation with close friends over dinner than a moderated talk.
David Eckstein, Randy Flores and Jim Edmonds were the latest former Cardinals to join FOX Sports Midwest broadcaster Dan McLaughlin in the Redbird Club Monday night.
After the guests were provided with drinks, appetizers and a formal meal, the group sat down to reminisce about the 2006 World Series run, manager Tony La Russa and even the car Eckstein received for winning World Series MVP.
McLaughlin first thought of the idea to begin a speaker series three years ago, which has since included Lou Brock, Whitey Herzog, Bob Gibson (twice), Red Schoendienst, Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee (twice) and Matt Holliday.
