3 May 2026 St Louis: Take Me Out to the Ball Game

 


Donna and Ray invited us to go to a baseball game.  This St Louis tradition was easy to say yes to as we both go way back with the Cardinals.  They had gone down to Malden MO to attend a fundraiser for the Bootheel Youth Museum that Ray founded all those decades ago.  One of the silent auctions was this set of tickets and they placed a serious bid on it and won.  Thanks again to the great team of St Louis  boosters, Donna and Ray!  The Cardinals were coming into the game with a six game winning streak and the Dodgers were on a 4 game losing streak.  Unfortunately the birds lost 4 -1 but we had a blast.

Ohtani is playing today, but not pitching


I got a shoot of wine


The dodgers are doing all of the offence


Great seats, thanks Donna and Ray!

The parking was a mess after the game so we got back out of the car and walked over for soome dinner


Kilroy's had booze but not any food


But the Broadway Oyster Bar had just what we need


Great food
