This year’s 15th Annual Christian Family Day at Busch Stadium (CFD) is going Hollywood!  Disney’s The Rookie, Jim Morris, will be this year's featured keynote speaker as the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Houston Astros on July 16th with the first pitch scheduled to be thrown at 3:15 p.m. 
    For those not familiar with Jim Morris’ story, Morris’ baseball career came to a halt when he was faced with a career ending arm injury.  He went on to teach high school and coach baseball.  Although Morris had arm surgery, he was still able to pitch in the high 90’s to his high school team.  This resulted in Morris’ team being one of the top teams in their division.  The team challenged Morris with the agreement that if they won their district title, then he must attempt to try out for the Major Leagues.  His team fulfilled their end of the bargain and, at age 35, Morris was awarded a major league contract after impressing scouts at his tryout.  Morris’ true life story of God's faithfulness will inspire and motivate everyone to achieve their dreams.
