ST. LOUIS • The harbingers of the baseball season, which bring flocks to St. Louis every January, begin Friday evening with a coaches’ convention in St. Charles that will feature the return of several former Cardinals coaches and Ryan Ludwick, perhaps a future one.
The Midwest Baseball & Softball Coaches Convention opens Friday at the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa. Baseball has a two-day event with softball events coming on Saturday. A highlight of the event will be Friday night when former Cardinals Jason Isringhausen, Todd Zeile, and Ludwick star in a “Talkin’ Baseball” event.
