St. Louis Cardinals promise drama for at least one game in 2022

If you’re heading to a St. Louis Cardinals game in 2022 and want to be guaranteed of some drama during your night at Busch Stadium, be sure to circle May 24 on your calendar.

You can debate the merits of Hamlet and umpires continuing to call balls and strikes all in the same place when the St. Louis Cardinals host Shakespeare Night on May 24.

Yes, baseball-loving thespians, it will be better to be three hours too soon rather than a minute too late when the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Toronto Blue Jays in an interleague matchup on May 24 at Busch Stadium. That will be Shakespeare Night at the ballpark, one of the team’s more than 30 recently-released theme dates.

You can learn more about Shakespeare night here. The night will include a Shakespeare-themed T-shirt for Cardinals fans who purchase the package and plenty of acting that highlights the works of Shakespeare. Who says baseball isn’t cultured?

Combine the swings of Nolan Arenado and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in one place along with works of literature that have stood the test of time and you have poetry in motion that will likely appeal to any audience.

And yes, the Cardinals making the package a win for the entire Shakespeare-loving segment of St. Louis, with some proceeds from the night going back to fund the city’s Shakespeare Festival. After all, as the bard himself said, if we are true to ourselves, we cannot be false to anyone.

Not a Shakespeare fan? That’s OK, the Cardinals have the fanbases from WWE to Star Wars to Jimmy Buffet covered with theme nights in 2022. Check out all of the options here.
