Busch Stadium, St. Louis
Busch Stadium, St. Louis
May 10The last time I was in Busch Stadium, it was 2006 and my beloved Detroit Tigers were getting smoked by the soon-to-be World Champion Cardinals. Things weren’t so pretty for me that night, but they sure were this past Saturday when I got to reunite with some old pals who also happen to be major Cards fans. We lounged pregame on the Terrace at the Four Seasons Hotel, and by the time we got to the Stadium the temps were already 80ish.
The St. Louis Arch beckons in the distance
It’s great to watch baseball with classy fans who cheer loudly for their guys, don’t boo the other guys, and who actually appreciate the intricacies of the game. And even though the Cardinals came perilously close to being no-hit in their own backyard (while my guy Justin Verlander actually tossed a no-hitter against the Blue Jays in Detroit! Woot!), we were treated to one of the best experiences available in the Major Leagues – Busch Stadium.
Not too shabby a view. 
A bit hot for May, but a perfect afternoon for baseball.
Some classy gents who agreed to pose with me.
