On June 3, 2004, Yadier Molina made his Major League debut for the St. Louis Cardinals. Here is how Rick Hummel captured the moment.
Cardinals catcher Mike Matheny said he was feeling no better after suffering a strained muscle in his right side Wednesday, and he was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
The Cardinals' future fast-forwarded several months when prized catching prospect Yadier Molina, 21, was promoted from Class AAA Memphis.
Molina, the youngest of the three catching Molina brothers -- Bengie and Jose play for Anaheim -- started Thursday's game against Pittsburgh, catching Woody Williams.
