Meet Cardinals’ HOFer José Oquendo
Known as “The Secret Weapon”, Oquendo was an integral part of the coaching staff for the 2006 and 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals teams. Oquendo played ten seasons in a St. Louis uniform from 1986 to 1995. In 1989, he hit .291 while playing a career-high 163 regular season games (two tied games played by St. Louis this season). The Puerto Rico native was a fixture of the lineup from 1987 until 1991, never appearing in fewer than 116 games a season. Oquendo has spent nearly four decades within the Cardinals organization in various capacities. He has been instrumental in defining the Cardinal Way with over two decades of experience working with St. Louis as a coach and instructor, influencing the careers of Gold Glovers Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and countless others.
(All tickets will be digital, deadline to purchase is September 23)
Space for the event is limited and is expected to sell out with MVP and All-Star tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who order MVP Tickets will have access to an exclusive Meet & Greet and photo opportunity with José Oquendo before the dinner. All attendees will also receive a baseball signed by José Oquendo!
