On April 4, 2024, baseball fans at Busch Stadium were treated to one of the most cherished traditions in Major League Baseball: the majestic Budweiser Clydesdales made a ceremonial lap around the field as part of the St. Louis Cardinals’ Opening Day festivities.
Before the first pitch, the world-famous Clydesdales — a long-standing symbol of Budweiser’s heritage and a beloved fixture of Cardinals’ Opening Days — gracefully trotted around the stadium’s warning track to enthusiastic cheers from the crowd packed into the stands. Their powerful presence, gleaming harnesses, and rhythmic steps create a striking visual that sets the tone for the season ahead, blending pageantry, local pride, and baseball tradition.
Fans and spectators alike paused to watch the team of horses circle the field, embodying both the rich history of Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis and the festive spirit of Opening Day. Their appearance not only honors a decades-old partnership between the brewery and the Cardinals but also delivers a memorable, almost cinematic moment that amplifies Opening Day’s excitement before the game begins.
