When the Los Angeles Angels come here to play the Cardinals this weekend for the first time in nine years, there will be story lines aplenty.
There will be a reunion of the catching Molina brothers for the first time since they coached a Puerto Rican youth team together last November in Colombia. Yadier still catches for the Cardinals, former catcher Jose is a coach for the Angels, and former catcher Bengie is a broadcaster for the Cardinals.
There will be the first appearance here, sort of, by Shohei Ohtani, the Angels’ talented pitcher-hitter who can’t throw this year after having elbow surgery but who can hit.
