Matt Holliday collects four hits, drives in a run, and steals a base in his debut with St. Louis on the same day as the trade
On the day he is traded by the A’s to the Cardinals for prospects Brett Wallace, Clayton Mortensen, and Shane Peterson, Matt Holliday collects four hits, drives in a run, and steals a base in his debut with St. Louis. Having hurried from New York, where his former team was continuing a series with the Yankees, the outfielder had to borrow a glove and shoes from his new teammates before the Redbirds’ 8-1 victory at Citizens Bank Park.
