Wednesday 8/8/12---GO TEAM GO!

8/8/12 Busch Stadium. Home of the St. Louis Cardinals. A sea of red! There’s nothing quite like rooting for the home team. It’s easy to get caught up in the hoopla as strains of "Take me out to the ballgame" fill the air. Opening pitches from “adorable bald children who are battling cancer, trivia prompts and even Kiss Cam. (not to mention the hot dogs, peanuts, nachos & $$ cokes) and lower temps all added to the fervor.

We weren’t FANS as such. Fans, certainly, but such fervor was incredible even for hubby, who has followed Cards since childhood and keeps up with stats and such. We were there hoping that Matt Cain (former HHS baseball player) would pitch for the SF Giants or at least friends Michael and Lane’s son-in-law, Jason Motte would pitch for the Cards. Neither happened so we were disappointed. Yet game experience was fun anyway. I just tend to get more caught up in the people aspect rather than in the score. Which is a good thing because the Cards lost 15-0.

Isn’t it great that one can enjoy life even without a check in the “win” column?
