Baseball betting fans have come to enjoy watching games at Busch Stadium III since its inception in 2006. When betting online for a World Series winner, one should note that the Cardinals are one of only a handful of teams to have both entered a new ball park and won the World Series in the same year. In 2006 after a dismal regular season, the Cardinals were able to capture their 10th title in the team’s long history.

 

On April 10, 2006 the Cardinals won the first game at the new Busch Stadium III after defeating the northbet pick Milwaukee Brewers on the backs of star pitcher Mark Mulder and superstar first baseman Albert Pujols. Since that time Pujols has continuously produced monster numbers for the Busch Stadium III faithful, while Mulder has battled injury.

 

Busch Stadium III is the third Busch Stadium since 1953. It is named after 1950s owner Gussie Busch. The ball park is the only version which has not been used for football. As well although Busch Stadium did not start construction until 2004, planning for the new ball park had started in the middle of the 1990s.

 

Aside from the World Series in 2006, which saw the Cardinals win three of their four games at Busch Stadium, the Cards have had little success come playoff time. In 2009, Busch Stadium was home for one game against the LA Dodgers, in which the Dodgers were able to clinch the series in a four game sweep.

 

Also Busch Stadium III has a statue of Cardinals legend Stan “the man” Musial outside of the front entrance way. During the 2006 run to the World Series, many fans were seen climbing a top the statue in celebration.
