Yesterday I asked you all which Cardinal would hit the team’s first homer of the season. Thirteen people answered Kolten Wong. Good job, folks. I am proud of your prognostic abilities. Because it is fun, let’s watch Kolten mash that dinger again.

He hit the Toyota RAV!
The real question is: Did anyone foresee Harrison Bader hitting the second one?

It is okay if you did not. Apparently back-to-back jacks do not happen that often on Opening Day for the Cardinals, according to Jen Langosch:
According to our awesome @mlb researchers, Kolten Wong and Harrison Bader are the first #STLCards to hit back-to-back Opening Day homers in franchise history.

It was certainly fun - until it all started to crumble. The good news is the Birdos are back at it today because BASEBALL IS BACK!
