ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - It will be a special weekend for St. Louis Cardinals fans when Keith Hernandez, Tom Herr, John Tudor and Bill White are enshrined into the team's Hall of Fame on Aug. 21. Even if you don't have a ticket to that game, you'll want to be outside Busch Stadium for a new special event.
The team announced a new Red Jacket Parade, where fans will have the opportunity to see favorite Cardinals Hall of Famers dressed in their Red Jackets. It will take around Ballpark Village, following the induction ceremony that begins at 3 p.m. that day.
Over a dozen Cardinals Hall of Famers are scheduled to attend, including Ozzie Smith, Whitey Herzog, Ted Simmons, Willie McGee, Mike Shannon, Tim McCarver, Jim Edmonds, Chris Carpenter, Scott Rolen, Ray Lankford, Vince Coleman and Jason Isringhausen.

This year’s Induction Ceremony will be held outdoors, at the Busch II Infield, to accommodate the anticipated crowd. It will take place at the same infield location that all four Cardinals Hall of Fame Inductees played on during their St. Louis careers.
Both the Induction Ceremony and Red Jacket Parade are free and open to the public.
In addition to those events, the organization will also honor and celebrate the lives of the late National Baseball Hall of Famers Lou Brock on Aug. 20 and Bob Gibson on Aug. 22, with gate giveaways and special pregame ceremonies. The Cardinals host the Pittsburgh Pirates for a weekend series.
