Big Win

Pete and I got to see a big win by our boys against the home-town Milwaukee Brewers. It was a 25 year celebration of the Brewers winning their last American League penant 1982 (and we all remember who they were up against in the ensueing world series.
Anyhoo - We had great seats in the club level above the first base line. We thought we were going to have the old Kip Wells pitching when he gave up 3 runs (including 2 homeruns) in the first inning, but the Cards came back and the Brew Crew melted down a little so we ended up winning the game (after 3 hours and 25 minutes) 12-4.
Although it was overlooked, the new brewer, Baune came a double short of hitting for the cycle.
It was a fun night in the ball park even though it was hot, and humid - Africa-hot! Because of the anniversary celebration both teams were wearing their throwback uniforms.
These lovely Blue and Red uniforms made our fav David Ecstein look more like the smurf that his team mates call him!
