So, this past Friday we were absolutely blessed, by some friends, with tickets to the Cardinals vs. Giants game at Busch Stadium! It was our friend's birthday and he and Mark are both huge Cards fans so I knew they would both have a great time!
Let me first start off by saying that we have never been to a game where the Cardinals won so we were hoping for a victory. Go Cards - they WON 11 to 1 over the Giants! They had 6 runs in the 4th inning alone! Awesome. Plus we got to see Pujols hit that home run out into Big Mac Land. Apparently anytime this week we can take our ticket stub to any McDonalds and get a free Big Mac (except that we don't like McDonalds!)
It did rain almost the entire way down to St. Louis and it pretty much rained up until game time! Mark was a little bummed because he and "J" didn't get to see batting practice and none of the players came out for autographs before the game. That reminds me - we've never been to a game where we've witnessed batting practice either! It's either been raining or the team was up late the night before with a long game and they canceled the batting practice. Bummer!
The coolest part of the night (besides the 53 degree weather) was our seats! We were sitting in the first section behind home plate (not counting the couple rows of 'champion' seats) and we were 14 rows up. Our view was amazing! Mark and I got to actually read the names on the back of the players' jerseys! Ha! We were also sitting behind a couple of guys that had speed guns and they were clocking pitches and taking stats. It was neat!
Great Seats! Great Friends! Great Game!
Many thanks to our friends! We hope you had a great birthday!!!!
