I was unable to attend the Cardinals’ home opener this season, so I took advantage of a half price ticket offer to get a seat near the field for game number two. It was Brad Penny’s first start at Busch Stadium as a member of the Cardinals, and he pitched very well, giving up only one unearned run in seven innings of work. The Cardinals won 2-1, with all of the offense coming in the first inning, to give Penny his first victory. It was a great night for a baseball game, and it felt good to be back in Busch Stadium at the start of a new season of Cardinals baseball.
