June 30, 2009 – Albert Pujols vs. the San Francisco Giants

It’s been a while. I’ve gone to a few games since April, but only in seats that aren’t very conducive to picture-taking (Bleachers & Terrace Reserved).

When I saw that the pitching match up for the game was Chris Carpenter vs. Randy Johnson, and that all tickets were half price, I decided it would be a good night to get a seat with a better view so that I could take some pictures.

I was in the dugout boxes down the 3rd base line, just seven rows from the field, so I had a good view of the action. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much action to speak of from the Cardinals, with the exception of two home runs from Albert Pujols.

August 2, 2008 – Picture Day

Today was Picture Day at Busch Stadium, where we were allowed to go down onto the field (on the track only – don’t touch the grass!) and then all of the players and coaches made a lap around the stadium. Most of the veterans kept a safe distance, posing for pictures but not signing autographs or shaking hands. A lot of the younger guys were more enthusiastic though, so I got high fives from the likes of Joe Mather, Brad Thompson, Brendan Ryan, Rick Ankiel, Kyle McClellan, and a few others.
