A view of the new Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, with a portion of the St. Louis skyline and the Gateway Arch in the background. The Cardinals played their 2006 season home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers breaking in their new $365 million ballpark on Monday with a 6-4 win.
Quirky field for Cards
ST. LOUISE — Jim Edmonds stepped into a Tomo Ohka pitch and lashed it down the right field line, over the head of Geoff Jenkins and off the wall.
Standup double, right?
BY JIM SALTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not even close. Edmonds rounded first and wisely stopped there.
The ball had caromed right back to jenkins, and his throw to second would have beaten Edmonds by five steps.
Welcome to the new Busch Stadium.
Until Monday, when the Cardinals broke in the new $365 million ballpark with a 6-4 win over Milwaukee, the team had been on the new field only once — during a frigid Sunday workout on April 2, the day before the season-opener in Philadelphia.
One thing's for sure: The outfield fence has a trampoline-like effect — the balls comes off hard and fast.
So it will be a while before even home team understands all of the nuances and quirks of the new Busch.
"It kind of bounced off pretty hard so I didn't really know," Edmons said. "I didn't want to get thrown out."
Also obvious from Monday's game was the sunshine factor, especially for outfielders. On a cloudless day with a game that started at 3:10 p.m., center fielders in particular had to use their gloves to help shade the sun from their eyes. By game's end, right fielders, too, were battling the glare.
"It's tough to see later in the game both offensively and defensively," said Jenkins, who dropped a short fly ball for an error in the second. "Me and
Brady (center fielder Brady Clark) had the sun in our eyes for five or six innings. It was really tough."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa noted that day games were no picnic for outfielders at the old Busch, either.
"There's a lot of pieces that remind you of the old Busch, especially in a 3 o'clock game to about 5 when you can't hardly see," La Russa said.
The dimensions of the new stadium are just a bit smaller than the old Busch, but the biggest difference is outside the playing field. The old Busch was a round, concrete circle, completely enclosed except for the top.
The new stadium has a large open section in center and leftcenter, allowing more air to circulate. It should keep things cooler during the stifling summer heat and humidity.
