As my family and I walk down Eighth Street amongst a sea of baseball enthusiasts, tourists, and vendors, I can see the stadium get closer and closer. The burnt reddish brown bricks come into sight, as well as the worn down statues of former St. Louis players. Behind the stadium I can see a picture perfect blue sky and feel the warmth traveling from the sun onto my skin. The weather is ideal for an early August baseball game; it is not too hot out, but not cold enough to make us be in need of sweatshirts after the sun goes down.
