We were given tickets to attend today's afternoon baseball game at Busch Stadium, here in St. Louis. I love to go watch baseball in person. It reminds me of the many games my dad took us to when we were younger. The Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants were both fun to watch play because there were players with names like Clark, Thompson, Uribe, Brenly, Williams, Davis, McGuire, Canseco, Eckersley, Lansford, Henderson, Cey, Jackson. That is just to name a few. There isn't a better professional sport to watch, in my opinion, in person. The smell of the freshly cut grass, the immaculate lines that are chalked, the pitcher's mound grooming is a complete art form. There is a 'buzz' with everyone at the game.
The concessions never taste better than at the ballpark. I am anticipating this game today will be one that the boys and I will remember for a very long time. Our seats are right behind home plate so I'm excited to hear the loud call of the home plate umpire as he calls out the 'balls and strikes'.
It's a hot and humid day here in St. Louis but the game will go on and I will be smiling, the whole time. Play Ball!
