Off the Field

Although the St Louis Cardinals organization are continually focused on putting the best team out on the field year and year, their time and effort are not solely focused upon what goes on just on their field, but throughout the St. Louis Community as well. Not only do that give kids the opportunity to play baseball who may otherwise not have the chance to do so, by means of providing them with all the equipment to succeed on the field, but also the means to succeed off the field through health, education, mentoring, and many more various activities and groups.

We all know cancer is a terrible and devastating disease. Many of us have had experiences with friends, family, co-workers, etc. who have gone through the struggles of fighting and surviving cancer, myself included. So it's always a pleasant moment to see someone work to establish hope, support, and an overall sense of happiness to those in need. Cardinal's pitcher Jason Motte, along with his wife, Caitlin, founded the Jason Motte Foundation, whose slogan, "Strike Out Cancer, " has helped provide care and comfort to countless people.

Jason was also recently nominated by the team to be one of thirty finalists for the Roberto Clemente Award, an award given to a player that best represents the game, on and off the field. So congrats, Jason, and continued success with the team and the foundation.
