On April 19, the New Madrid County Central Eagles baseball team had the opportunity to play a game at the Cardinals Stadium in St. Louis. Coach Joseph McClarty called the opportunity a dream come true for the players and coaches alike. “Stepping onto a major league field and standing on the same dirt where Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina and all of those greats played was pretty amazing,” McClarty said.
