Tony Ebers is a lifelong Cardinals fan from just outside of St. Louis. He shares how his love for the game was passed down through generations, starting with radio broadcasts alongside his dad and grandfather, and how seeing Ozzie Smith turn a double play in person cemented his passion for baseball forever.

We chat about the evolution of Busch Stadium, the unique hospitality of Cardinals fans, and Tony’s favorite ballpark traditions—from the seventh-inning stretch to sharing “Who’s on First” with a kid in the stands. Tony also shares his love for defense-first players like Ozzie Smith and Mason Wynn, his thoughts on the state of the modern game, and what it still means to walk into a stadium and feel that childlike wonder.
