He’s here on Wednesday afternoon at Busch, regular spot.
It’s quiet now. But Thursday, it’ll be bustling, because for the first time since 2019, Cardinals fans will meet at Musial.
Thursday is opening day. It’s also homecoming.
And the reunions will occur at the Stan Musial statue at 8th and Spruce. (I had to look up the cross-streets that meet where you meet at Musial; the statue is, simply, where the statue is.)
For generations, Cardinals fans have told family or friends: “Meet me at Musial,” from a rotary phone or car phone; a Hotmail email or AOL Instant Messenger; a Motorola two-way pager or SMS text; an iPhone FaceTime or Zoom.
