The St. Louis Cardinals lineup for the first Spring Training game of the season is up, and it’s chalk full of newcomers. Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com tweeted out a photo of the lineup earlier this morning:
The Cardinals will face Florida Atlantic University in the exhibition matchup. It’s not uncommon for teams to take on a college or university early on in spring training. More than anything, it is a nice gesture for those surrounding colleges or universities to get some live action and possibly meet some Major Leaguers.
It’s a bit intriguing that the lineup is completely full with newcomers in the Cardinals camp.
