Posted on April 3, 2010 at 11:14am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Hi folks! I'm new to the site, so I thought that I'd take a moment to introduce myself. It's so nice to find people with the same interests & the love of baseball (for a while there, I thought I was alone - LOL).

My list of "current" ballparks is at 22, at the beginning of the 2010 season. My "overall" lists stands at 34; counting parks that are no longer with us: Comiskey Park (WHITE SOX - numerous times), Yankee Stadium (YANKS - '05), Shea (METS - '05), Tiger Stadium (TIGERS -… Continue

There's always a lot of great pre-game atmosphere in those spots. Be sure to take a stroll through the Cardinal museum for some great historical memorabilia (its inside the park). There's always a lot of "Fanfest-type" activity in the section behind the bleachers each game, too.
If you're on town for a while, check out Lacleade's Landing (riverfront and Arch) and the Anheuser Brewery tour. The Soulard area has some great pubs/restaurants. If you're looking for great Italian dishes, check out "The Hill". There are also great sights to see in the Delmar Loop district, too. All of these areas are just a short distance from "downtown".
Being a Cubs Fan, It's hard for me to say this, but there is always an electric atmosphere at Busch; those fans LOVE that team (and game). Enjoy!!
