St. Louis Cardinals Rookies Get Sent on Coffee Run in Wrigleyville

Taking a page from the Los Angeles Dodgers' playbook, the St. Louis Cardinals sent their rookies on an odyssey for caffeine before Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

We also have a shot of their bounty: a surprisingly low number of Frappuccinos for caffeinating the "Cardinal Way."

You can't teach class, but you can impart on new guys the importance of blended ice, coffee and cream in maintaining the temple of the body.

Also, the rooks should be glad they were only sent to Starbucks. The Wrigleyville McDonald's is basically a UFC Octagon with a takeout window.
