Bradley and I got the opporunity to go to the home opener for the Cardinals and on top of that sit in the green seats! It was a very cool experience. The weather was miserable with rain and cool temperatures resulting in an hour rain delay and less pomp and circumstance but it didn't put a damper on the experience.
While we were eating in the Cardinals club and waiting for the rain delay to end, Tony LaRussa was just three tables over from us. How cool is that?! They brought in all four of the world series championship trophies onto the field with respective players and managers. It was awesome to be that close to Stan Musial, Whitey Herzog, and really cool to see David Eckstein and Jim Edmonds again.
Then for the starting lineup they drove Ford trucks around the field and the players jumped off the back of the trucks at home plate as they were announced.
Although the Cards lost, it was still a lot of fun to attend. I hope I get the opportunity again! Go Cards!
