Revisit to Busch Stadium- St Louis Cardinals vs Houston Astros July 10, 2013

I had earlier gotten in touch with a Stamp Club friend I knew in St Louis, Paul Hairsine and his wife Donna, who had visited us in 2010 in St Augustine, and he was nice enough to suggest that we get together for a Cardinals baseball game-  didn't have to ask me twice!  After a busy day in the Metro area, I headed over to Paul's office and parked the car and about 530, we headed back into town- 

Think this is my third game at Busch Stadium, and it didn't disappoint- got a ball and pin of course, and a t shirt for Cooper, and then in a mid inning, I caught a t shirt the Fred bird girls were throwing in the stands!!!

Great game, Cards won on a two run homer in the 7th inning-  Big crowd, almost a sell out 44 thousand plus.  Courtesy of Paul, we had great seats-  the kid in front of me got a ball thrown in the stands.  Wonderful night-

We visited here when we were on our big summer trip in 2007. Brandon and I took the train from Oceanside on down to San Diego, and walked from the stadium over to Petco Field.  The field is literally in downtown San Diego, and is a  beautiful ball park, and a fun place for a game.  Great sight lines.  we decided to get seats in the left field bleachers, and we had a good view of the game. 

Brandon was able to get his first major league baseball here, as there was a fellow who was pretty much a regular, and was friendly with the Padres left fielder, and he would throw balls up to the guy, and the guy made it a point to hand out balls to kids-  Very nice gesture. 

Today, several years later, I was able to run down to Petco and visit the pro shop and get a Padres ball and pin to add to the collections. 

When I get back to Florida, I'll add some special photos I have in a hard drive of the events of that day-  including one special photo.
