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.

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.
