Cardinals Caravan rolling out
01/10/2006
ST. LOUIS -- It's time for the Winter Warm-Up, but if you can't make it to St. Louis for the Cardinals' annual fanfest, the Redbirds may be bringing some of the fun to your town. The 2006 Cardinals Caravan gets started on Thursday, with branches of the caravan heading to all four compass points.
The first caravan rolls out of St. Louis on Thursday morning, headed east. Anthony Reyes and Brad Thompson head a group that will visit Champaign, Ill., Decatur, Ill., Springfield, Ill., and Hannibal, Mo. New Cardinals radio voice John Rooney will MC the dates, which will also include John Gall and former Cardinals Danny Cox and John Costello.
Leg No. 2 heads south on Saturday, the same day the annual Winter Warm-Up begins in downtown St. Louis. Starting catcher Yadier Molina will be joined by new Cardinal Aaron Miles and lefty reliever Randy Flores, with the stops MC'd by broadcaster Al Hrabosky. The second caravan hits Marion, Ill., and Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday, then Ripley, Tenn., and Cape Girardeau, Mo., on Sunday.
Caravan 3 also runs Saturday and Sunday. Outfielders John Rodriguez and Larry Bigbie will meet and greet fans, along with ex-Redbirds Alan Benes, Rick Horton and Tom Lawless. Horton, who calls Cardinals games on television, will serve as the MC for stops to the north in Bloomington, Ill., Davenport, Iowa, Peoria, Ill., and Litchfield, Ill.
Starting on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the fourth and final caravan heads west. A large group will visit Joplin, Mo., and Springfield, Mo., on Monday and Columbia, Mo., on Tuesday. Adam Wainwright, Skip Schumaker, Tyler Johnson, Brendan Ryan, Ken Reitz and former player Ken Dayley will attend all three stops of the fourth caravan, which will be hosted by broadcaster Bob Carpenter. Pitching coach Dave Duncan will appear at the Springfield stop.
