In celebration of 20 years at Busch III, we are going to take a look at special moments/players in the `1stadium’s history. Once a month, we will have a special installment highlighting a special part of the stadium’s history.

With a seating capacity of just over 44,000 and a picturesque view of the St. Louis skyline and the Gateway Arch, the stadium quickly became one of baseball’s premier venues. What made its debut season even more special, however, was what transpired on the field. The 2006 Cardinals entered the postseason as underdogs. They finished the regular season with just 83 wins, the lowest total for any National League playoff team that year. Injuries and inconsistencies defined much of their season, but once October arrived, the Cardinals flipped a switch. Behind veteran leadership and timely performances, they defeated the San Diego Padres in the NLDS and then overcame the favored New York Mets in a dramatic seven-game NLCS. Winning the NL pennant in the first year at Busch III was a poetic start. The Cardinals’ Game 7 victory over the Mets remains one of the most iconic moments in franchise history, highlighted by ‘s go-ahead home run and ‘s curveball that froze to end the game.

Just like that, Busch Stadium III obtained a sense of history and significance. As the years went on, even more history would grace the ballpark. 2011 World Series Champions The Cardinals’ run to the postseason in 2011 was improbable. Trailing the Atlanta Braves by 10.5 games in the Wild Card race in late August, the team mounted one of the greatest comebacks in baseball history. They surged into the playoffs on the final day of the season and carried that momentum into the postseason. Busch Stadium III got to see critical moments of that run, including during the run to the playoffs itself. A loud crowd helped the Cardinals rally in the ninth inning against the rival Chicago Cubs, where a loss would have certainly been the final nail in the coffin. Busch III saw the Cardinals force a Game 5 against the Philadelphia Phillies behind a big night by hometown player . In the NLCS, Busch III saw the Cardinals win two of three from the Milwaukee Brewers, setting up the team’s pennant-clinching win on the road in Game 6.

When Freese’s two-run triple tied the game, the Busch III faithful went hysterical. When the Cardinals rallied again in the tenth, including being down to their last strike again, the hysterics only grew. An inning later, Freese hit one into center, and it soon was official. Busch Stadium III would see a game the next night. The Cardinals cruised to a 6-2 win in Game 7. In just its sixth season, Busch III had won another championship, one celebrated once again on its own field. Freese’s World Series MVP added to the moment, as the third baseman grew up in Wildwood, Missouri. 2013 National League Champions Two years later, the Cardinals entered the playoffs with 97 wins, the best record in the National League. Once again, Busch III provided a significant home-field advantage. The Cardinals, behind a complete game by Wainwright, won a winner-take-all game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NLDS.
