En route to winning the 2011 World Series, the Cardinals opened their historic season by hosting the San Diego Padres for 3 games. These tickets are from the second game of the season. With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 3rd inning, Albert Pujols launched the first of his 37 home runs that season, and the 409th home run of his Hall of Fame career. Unfortunately for the hometown fans, the Padres lit up Cardinals starter Brian Westbrook for 8 earned runs, and defeated the Cardinals 11-3. As you can see from the photos, tickets are in good condition with no creases.
