As if the giant stomach tattoo of Yadier Molina wasn’t enough to claim your allegiance to the home team, now there’s an exclusive club. In the week leading up to the Winter Warm-up, the Cardinals traditionally release information regarding the new season’s “Cardinals Nation” membership.
This week was no different.
Truth be told, the membership isn’t a bad deal for $19.95 because it includes access to MLB’s Gameday audio. If you live out of town, or travel a lot, you’ll find access incredibly useful.
Nevertheless, $19.95 is essentially the price of two beers at Busch Stadium – which is why cost-conscious fans are offered a cheaper alternative.
Note: this is not an actual St. Louis Cardinals promotion. Don’t believe me? Click the “Join Now” button. See? It doesn’t go anywhere, silly.
We’re probably legally obligated to tell you that this campaign is a farce, although we fully expect to receive an email from some bleacher idiot within the hour.
