Cardinals Caravan visits Cape today

The annual Cardinals Caravan visits the Osage Community Centre at 5:30 p.m. today.

The foursome coming to St. Louis today are pitchers Anthony Reyes, Brad Thompson and Chris Perez, and catcher Bryan Anderson.

While Reyes and Thompson have been with the Cardinals for the past couple of seasons, Perez and Anderson are among the top prospects in the Cardinals organization.

Anderson hit .298 at Class AA Springfield last season and is the top catching prospect in the organization.

Perez had 35 saves between Springfield and Class AAA Memphis last year.

Tickets to the event are $4, which benefits the Park Development Fund, while ages 2 and under are free.

Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the program begins at 5:30.

The Cardinals' policy on the trips is to sign autographs for youths only.
