Louis Cardinals are suddenly becoming one of baseball's best stories, and somehow, a group of shirtless college baseball players has become part of it. What started as a viral moment during Friday night's dramatic extra-innings win over the Kansas City Royals somehow escalated even further Saturday after Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol decided to fully embrace the chaos. And Busch Stadium absolutely loved it.
Oli Marmol leaned completely into Cardinals' viral fan moment After Friday's win, Marmol could not stop talking about the electric atmosphere created by the Stephen F. Austin club baseball team, whose shirtless celebrations in right field quickly became the talk of Cardinals social media. "Whoever started that in right field, I'll do whatever I need to do to make sure they come every game," Marmol said after the game.
Turns out, he meant it. Before Saturday's matchup against Kansas City, Marmol announced he was buying out the remaining tickets in the now-famous right-field section to help recreate the atmosphere. Fans quickly rushed to claim the free seats as the Cardinals leaned all the way into what had unexpectedly become one of the most entertaining fan stories of the MLB season.
