Brendan Donovan leads Cardinals Caravan coming to Joplin January 13

The St. Louis Cardinals have announced the schedule for the 2024 Cardinals Caravan, presented by Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance.

The Cardinals Caravan will traverse 20 cities across Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Indiana.  A combination of more than 40 current Cardinals players, minor league prospects, alumni, and team broadcasters will embark on one of six caravans through Cardinal Nation from January 12-15.

Making their way to Joplin on Saturday, January 13 will be Brendan Donovan, Iván Herrera, Nick Robertson, and prospect Max Rajcic.

Cardinals alumni Rick Ankiel, Ryan Ludwick and Ricky Horton, will also be joined by radio broadcaster Mike Claiborne.

Doors to Missouri Southern State University’s Taylor Performing Arts Center will open at 10 am. The event will begin at 11:30 am.

The club will implement an autograph ticket system at each stop as in previous years. The first 400 kids, ages 15 and under, through the door on the day of the event will receive a free autograph ticket which guarantees one autograph from each current and former player. Due to high demand, autographs will only be available for fans 15 and under.
