To top off the Missouri portion of our adventure, we went to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. The Cards were starting a three-game weekend series with the American League Los Angeles Angels. Tickets for Cards games are apparently hard to come by. Several folks had told us the games were sold out every night. The Cards haven't been playing very well, but are in a brand new Busch Stadium and are the defending 2006 World Series champions. We called the box office two days before the game and got four tickets in the right field nosebleed section. Actually, they were pretty good seats. Things didn't go so well for the home team however. After building a 4-0 lead in the early innings, the Cards gave up 6 runs in the seventh and lost 10-6. My hopes of seeing a major league no-hitter were dashed early in the game; the teams combined for 29 hits. A real pitcher's duel.
