I’ll be adding some new names to the list on the left with this post. For the first time, I had seats directly above the Cardinals’ bullpen, so I was able to get a lot of pictures of the activity going on down there.
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.
