In what promises to be one of the most memorable nights in recent St. Louis sports history, legendary Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa is bringing together many of the stars who helped him capture World Series glory — all under one roof for a night of celebration, reflection, and fan appreciation.
Set for July 16th at the elegant Stifel Theatre, this special event will reunite members of the 2006 and 2011 championship teams, offering fans a rare chance to hear behind-the-scenes stories and relive iconic moments straight from the players and coaches who made it all happen. The reunion will not only highlight the on-field achievements but also pay tribute to the bonds formed during those historic seasons — both among teammates and with the city of St. Louis itself.
Leading the evening’s program will be none other than Joe Buck, the Hall of Fame broadcaster whose voice is forever linked to the Cardinals’ biggest moments. With his deep ties to the franchise and legacy as the son of legendary broadcaster Jack Buck, Joe is expected to bring both gravitas and emotion to the evening, guiding conversations and sharing his own memories from decades covering the team.
The event will feature panel discussions with players, video tributes, live Q&A segments with fans, and surprise appearances from figures across Cardinals history. Though the full guest list is being kept under wraps, organizers have hinted that several beloved stars and key championship contributors will be on hand.
Tony LaRussa, now a Hall of Famer and one of the most respected minds in baseball, said the event is about far more than just victories. “It’s about celebrating what made those teams great — the trust, the fight, the love for the game, and the support from our fans that carried us through,” he said. “This is for them just as much as it is for us.”
St. Louis, a city steeped in baseball tradition, is expected to turn out in full force. For many fans, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconnect with the legends who brought so much pride and joy to Busch Stadium over the years.
Tickets are limited and selling quickly, with demand reflecting just how cherished these championship years remain. As LaRussa and his former players prepare to walk back into the spotlight — not as competitors, but as storytellers — July 16th is shaping up to be an unforgettable night in Cardinals history.
