Happy Birthday!

I usually never go out of order with entries, but I'm too excited to not let my loyal readers about this.

Remember when I said St.Louis was the highlight of my baseball life? Well, now it's a close second for just THIS SEASON.

Game 11- Nobody's Perfect

I didn't get a ball. Simple as that. I ruined the surprise already, but big deal. Keep reading if you want. I'll treat this one like a normal game as much as I can, even though this was WAY out of the ordinary for me. In the past few weeks I've gotten over it, but I was very upset for a day or two.

Game 10- Ballhawk's Day Off

This title may confuse some of you.

I was very torn about going to BP for this game. Of course, I wanted baseballs, just like every game. But this game against the Mets carried a little something extra.

Game 9- Back to Back

We got into the hotel pretty late the night before, but the second game was also a 7:10 PM start. This gave us a chance to do some sightseeing. I'll give you one guess where we went.

Yup-the Arch. It was just a short walk from the stadium, and both of us agreed we had to see it.

Game 8- Journey to America's Heartland

For our first plan, Brent was going to make the drive down when we decided to visit Sean and Matt. Over the past year he had made many trips to ISU, and that was pretty much the half way point. It would be a piece of cake. He’d pick me up and we would have a good time catching up en route to Edwardsville.

Before we planned this particular trip, he was the one with the good car. Sadly, the 1995 Silver Ford Taurus didn't make it through the winter. In February, we added a 2006 Cubbie blue Saturn Ion to the Mortenson garage. Since he was nice enough to come with me and embrace my Ballhawking, I volunteered to drive.

Same license plates; the Taurus will never be forgotten
