Buy Me Some Peanuts And Crackerjacks

We were given four free tickets to last nights Cardinals game when our brother-in-law realized that he wouldn't be able to go. We love going to the game but the tickets are just so dang expensive that we are hardly able to afford it unless someone gives us tickets. Thankfully, we were able to go to one last Cardinal game before we move. The tickets we were given had seats in the Redbird Club right along the third base line...perfect seats if you ask me!
We called everyone that we thought might be interested in going to the game and no one was interested. It was a night game on a week night but we thought some one would take us up on our free ticket offer. My mom got home from jury duty earlier than she expected and she didn't think twice when we asked her if she wanted to go. She had never been to the new stadium, so she was excited to go to the game. Once we parked at the Stadium, we kept trying to give our last ticket away. No one took us up on the free offer so we stopped harassing people and went in to our seats. Does this view ever get old?The Cardinals had a a great game! After some great hits, some diving catches, a plate of nachos, fun baseball chants and claps and the singing of "Take me out to the ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch, the Cardinals beat the Houston Astros 5-1.
We really enjoyed ourselves at the game! Thanks for the free tickets, Chris! It was really nice to see the Cardinals play again!!
