ST. LOUIS • Cardinals Care dedicated its 22nd baseball field Wednesday — this time, in honor of Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa.
Tony La Russa Field is at Ray Leisure Park, 1410 South Tucker Boulevard just south of downtown.
La Russa was on hand for the ceremony, during which he spoke of his own childhood:
"When I grew up and I had a chance to play a lot, I did not have anything as nice as this," La Russa said. "There was no grass in the infield; there were rocks. We had bruises. So this is — this is beautiful.
