First Cards Game of 2014

Scott and I were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Cards game on Sunday.  Not only were they free tickets, they were luxury box seats.  I had not sat in the box seats in the new Busch Stadium yet and was very excited to go. 

On our walk over we passed Keiner Plaza and the fountain was very blue.  It was the last game of the playoffs for the Blues.  I really wish there would have been a better outcome for their awesome season.

Once we got to the stadium we checked out batting practice.  I love getting the game early to watch batting practice and hope to get Gabe a ball.  It's also fun to get the players attention and maybe see a Joe Kelly salsa dance.

Then we headed over to the gift shop to get Gabe a ball signed by the 2014 team.  It's a collection we are starting for him.  He got the 2013 when he went to his first game last May.  Once the rain cleared out we headed down to watch the many first pitches thrown out from right behind the green seats. 

 

 

Afterwards we finally hiked up to our seats.  It really wasn't much of a hike for us but we still hit the ramps.  The luxury box was great.  All you can eat and drink with a great view over the first base dugout.  It made for some very great baseball watching.

 

 

 

We saw a great game, 2 homers by Peralta and a win over the Pirates is all I can ask for.

 

It was a very exhausting day for me.  Gabe helped me relax before bedtime.
