249 miles gets us to Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis for a day game and a chance to see Manny Ramirez in Dodger blue.
Wow. Easily the best game of the trip. We rolled into St. Louis an hour before the 1:15 start and the streets we filled with fans in Cardinal red. And despite being in the very last row in the entire stadium, the view was fantastic. 2 BBQ pork sandwiches later we sat down and watched a pretty dominant pitching perforamance by Dodger rookie Clayton Kershaw, as well as Manny Ramirez destroy another ball over the fence. And despite having a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth, the Cardinals went down, 4-1.
Here's the panoramic view from our seats (click to enlarge)
The Olympic Opening ceremonies are tonight and that means one thing...a 370 mile drive to Milwaukee to see the Brewers!
