So it's that time of year again, my friends. The months were the boys of summer flock to the fields with their caps and gloves to grab grounders and fetch flies. There are peanuts, hot dogs, and foam fingers for days in the stadiums where the flicker of outfield lights usher in waves of enthusiasm for all in attendance.
Baseball season.
My family and I have been die hard Atlanta Braves fans for as long as I can remember. Annual road trips to the Peach State always included at least one trip to Turner Field (RIP Fulton Stadium), and occasionally included trips to the zoo or being victims of grand theft auto (but that is a different post for a different blog because that experience was not exceedingly good). So as my sister and I decided to uphold our tradition and take our love for baseball on the road... to St. Louis!
We were really excited to see the Braves play last year's World Series Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals, and to experience our favorite sport in a new (to us) venue. Busch Stadium is beautiful and getting there from where we stayed was no problem thanks to the MetroLink (shameless plug)! The Braves won against the Cardinals the night before, they won the game that we went to, and then they won the next afternoon! Get out your broom, folks, that's what I call a sweep!
While we were in the city they call "The Gateway to the West," we couldn't help but stop by one of St. Louis' most identifiable landmarks, The Arch!
In the National League, the Braves, with a record of 23W - 15L, are half of a game behind the Washington Nationals in the Eastern Division. Fingers crossed for a division winning season and a trip to the World Series!
