April Means Baseball!

Back in the good ol' days you could find me many a days in April at Busch Stadium watching the Cardinals, enjoying a beer and a dog, and soaking up the atmosphere. Now a days watching a baseball isn't quite the same as it used to be. For one, our local baseball team is a league team for the Royals (spit! spat!) and I have to spend about 90% of the time watching my two year old and not the game. But, we went last Thursday night to support my friend Rachel's choir sing the national anthem and they were amazing! She does such a fantastic job with her kids. Usually little kids singing sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me, but somehow she can get them to sound like a little chorus of angels!





Will was pretty impressed with the helicopter that landed in the outfield carrying the person throwing out the first pitch.



However he was not too impressed with Striker, the mascot for the team. I agree that he isn't the cutest and cuddliest character in the world!



We were only in our seats about 4 minutes before Will lost his interest and off we went. Although, he must have absorbed a lot in those 4 minutes because he has really been enjoying hitting his t-ball in the backyard (I knew he was a fast learner!)





Maybe in 20 years I'll be back in St. Louis watching the cutest hitter in the whole world win the big game!
