By the end of the day last Sunday, it had been an almost perfect twelve hours for St. Louis sports fans. It all began when Yadier Molina signed a three-year extension with the St. Louis Cardinals. In the afternoon, the St. Louis Blues defeated the Nashville Predators, 4-1. Just down the street that evening, the Cardinals walked off with a 4-3 victory on Opening Day over their division rival, the Chicago Cubs.
Sunday was followed by an off day Monday, when the Cardinals announced another contract extension, this one, a six-year deal with right fielder Stephen Piscotty.
