Nolan Arenado was the lone member of the St. Louis Cardinals who made it to the All-Star Game this year.
He has been an All-Star in each of his first three seasons wearing the Birds on the Bat.
This year, he was the starting third baseman for the National League and hit fifth in their lineup.
Along with the rest of the starters from both sides, Arenado made a nice entrance onto the field from the tunnel at T-Mobile Park.
On Twitter, the Cardinals posted a video of Arenado entering the field of play in Seattle and being greeted with a raucous standing ovation.

Arenado may have been the only Cardinal on the All-Star roster for the National League, but he was certainly well received in Seattle on Tuesday.
The Cardinals slugger and 10-time Gold Glover went 0-for-2 at the plate, popping out and striking out.
However, he made some solid plays at third base while he was still in the game.
Arenado was later replaced by Atlanta Braves star Austin Riley.
The Senior Circuit ultimately emerged victorious on Tuesday night thanks to a home run by Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz, who is a former teammate of Arenado’s from his time in Colorado.
Arenado’s defense helped keep the American League at bay as the NL held on for a 3-2 victory, securing their first All-Star Game victory since 2012.
He’ll now head back to St. Louis as the Cardinals prepare to start the second half of the season with a three-game series against the Washington Nationals.
