Stan Musial's dining room, NBD.

What's it like to be one of the most beloved baseball players of all time? If you have $1.8 million, you can sort of find out!

That's right, folks. You can sleep where the late, great Stan Musial once slept in his Ladue home that is officially on sale, as of yesterday.

Live like the greatest Cardinal that ever lived lived! Agents with Laura McCarthy Real Estate tell Daily RFT they will begin showing the house as early as next week.

Busch Stadium's transformation.

It may have been totally friggin' impossible to get tickets to the Premier League's much-discussed exhibition soccer game at Busch Stadium this week, but that doesn't mean you can't get excited and watch from the sidelines!

To pointlessly whet your appetite, dear readers who will not be attending the Manchester City v. Chelsea F.C. match this Thursday, we've collected some photos below of Busch Stadium undergoing its transformation into a soccer field, which began after the Cardinals game on Sunday.

It's an unprecedented conversion: This is the first professional non-baseball sporting event ever hosted at Busch Stadium III.

Robert Boettcher.

Robert Boettcher, a 53-year-old homeless man in St. Louis, was recently released from prison after spending nearly two years behind bars on murder charges. He was arrested on May 3, 2011, and after many months in jail, his case was dismissed on February 11, 2013.

And now, he has won a University City photography contest.

"I was stunned. I was not expecting this at all," Boettcher, who won a local competition over the weekend, tells Daily RFT. "I was ecstatic, so happy about it."

It was a meaningful recognition for Boettcher -- who is still homeless today.

Because...why not?

So this exists.

St. Louis' Baked T's store has jumped on the Internet hysteria around Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland hero who helped rescue three women who had reportedly been held captive for more than a decade.

Ramsey gave a now viral interview with local media, during which he said, "I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms."

Which brings us to Baked T's in the Delmar Loop, which designed this t-shirt and yesterday displayed it in the store window. More photos below.

New rendering.

Last night officials with the CityArchRiver 2015 Foundation, the folks behind the massive redevelopment project around the Gateway Arch, unveiled new details of their project -- which they say is on track for completion by October 2015.

The $380 million public-private partnership involves major traffic changes, riverfront improvements, a new museum project for the Old Courthouse, an enhanced bike trail and more.

"This is the front door to St. Louis," Ryan McClure, communications director for the foundation, tells Daily RFT. "It represents our city and everything it is and can be.... People are going to have an entirely new experience that we as St. Louisans will really be proud of."

Newly released renderings and more details on the development below.

Colbert in St. Louis this weekend.

It was a big weekend for celebs in St. Louis. Stephen Colbert was here to interview Bill Clinton at Washington University. Mike Tyson was here for his one-man show. Oh, and Matthew Perry was also at the Wash. U. event. (And Chelsea Clinton. And Jack Dorsey. And others.)

(It's also a major week for St. Louis celebs being celebs out in the world, too!)

Check out RFT's photos below from the Clinton Global Initiative University event...plus our favorite tweet from Perry, who is totally unimpressed by the former president of the United States.
