For the first time since he parted ways with the Cardinals, David Eckstein made a nostalgic return to Busch Stadium on Monday. Long before the gates had opened, the 2006 World Series hero, now on the Diamondbacks, was trying to imagine how he would feel playing before fans who meant so much to him while he wore the Cardinal colors.

Judging by the standing ovation he received from the Busch Stadium crowd when he came to bat for the first time Monday night, it was clear that former Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein, now patrolling second base as an Arizona Diamondback, was a hugely popular figure here. But perhaps only a shade ahead of his wife, actress Ashley (Drane) Eckstein, who celebrated her birthday Monday by joining her husband on the trip.
