As the attention and applause rightfully shower Cardinals legends Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols this weekend at Busch Stadium — and please don’t forget to give Adam Wainwright plenty of both as well, just in case — let’s not forget to keep an eye on the others.
The Cardinals have played themselves into the position of being able to treat their final regular-season homestand as a feel-good celebration, and for good reason. A byproduct of regaining control of the division is the benefit of smelling the roses. Pujols is back home after hitting his 700th home run on the road.
