This summer, I am visiting St. Louis for the first time in two years. Back to the cradle indeed. Home will always at least a little mean St. Louis and especially University City. I had hoped to get some All Star tickets, but they were bought up by professional ticket sellers who are reselling them at $370 minimum for standing room only tickets. A little steep for our budget. It is too bad, and I am sure there are many fans who would love to go but can't afford these crazy prices. I do have tix for some games the next weekend. That should be fun.
It will also be great to see friends and family and the places that carry a bit of my soul.
I've been to STL a couple of times - went to my very first MLB game at the old Busch Stadium in 1994 - and can understand how it's like to be home.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a native New Englander living in the South so the cultural adjustment has been interesting.
I'm enjoying your blog. Keep up the good writing.
Thanks,
ReplyDeleteI am back on it.
My first games were at the old Busch. Many summer afternoons and evenings were spent there with my best friend.
