Busch Stadium from a new view

Since we will be out of town in New Orleans over Dave's birthday, I wanted to take Dave on a tour of Busch Stadium, so we did it before we left. Accompanied by our friends Mandy and Ryan, we had a blast and learned a ton about Busch Stadium. We Love the CARDINALS!!!

Calling the bullpen. While we were there, Kyle Lohse was doing some rehab work. We got to see a player too. What a day.

What a great view from the field. The stadium has an incredible view of the Arch in the background.

This is one of the large party rooms. This wallpaper is the personal baseball card collection of Bill DeWitt (owner of the Cards). They enhanced the pictures, blew them up, and turned it into something spectacular.
Us four in the dugout. During the next game, Dave and I both pointed out many of times where we were in that dugout and which major league player was standing there one day later. Pretty incredible feeling. I love taking tours of our favorite places.
This is the ball that Mike Shannon sits on every game to announce for the radio. He even takes one on the road. An interesting fact.

After the tour, I ordered a Gus's Pretzel in the shape of the Stl emblem. If you have never had a Gus's you must stop through and buy one. They are delicious.
We stopped then in Soulard for lunch at Hammerstones. A great little hideaway! What a fun day...it was a fantastic weekend.
