For right-hander Jeff Weaver, the Dodgers' trip to St. Louis marks his first visit to Busch Stadium since he was part of the Cardinals' World Series team in 2006.
Weaver won the fifth and final game of that series.
"I don't see how it can get higher than that," Weaver said. "It was a surreal feeling."
Weaver said he would like to pitch for the Cardinals again.
"I think any player, when given the opportunity, would like to go back to the organization where he had success," he said. "L.A. is a place like that for me. St. Louis is also a place like that for me."
Weaver had a rough time after leaving St. Louis. He was 7-13 with a 6.20 earned-run average with Seattle in 2007 and didn't pitch in the majors last year.
He said he was particularly fond of the atmosphere in Busch Stadium.
"This is the craziest team town in middle America as far as their support," Weaver said.
"Every day, you walk down the street and 90% of the people are wearing Cardinal jerseys or shirts," he added.
