With more than an hour to go before a recent game, Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward had already dressed in his home whites – Birds on the Bat to red shoes on his feet – and was looking to kill some time with teammates. He left the clubhouse and headed for the video room.
There he found the usual assortment of Cardinals. They cheered as he entered.
He had walked, in full uniform and unknowingly, into an impromptu game show.
Matt Carpenter, holding a prop as a microphone, served as the enthusiastic, Price is Right-like host, welcoming Heyward to the floor in front of the live audience.
