[…] for my giveaway. You will remember HEREI took pictures at a ballgame I went to this summer. I thought they turned out pretty cool and I […]
Tonight my parents and my little sister Molly came into town for the baseball game. We usually get the Pujols Pack with my Godparents, but we decided not to do it this summer because of our crazy schedule. So my parent’s decided to come down for at least one game as the summer dwindled down. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cardinals baseball games. I love the atmosphere, I love the fans, I love the Kiss Cam (it is my lifetime goal to make it on the Kiss Cam), I love the stadium, I love the hotdogs (you can’t go to a baseball game and not get a hotdog…that would be dumb), I love people watching, I love when someone starts the wave, I love the Cap Dance, I love the 7th inning stretch, I love the walk out songs, I love all the red, I love the hardcore fans that sit in the worst seats and don’t care (box seats are for pansies…the really good seats are the green seats or the cushioned red seats), I love watching my dad watch the game (the man loves the Cardinals more than anyone I know), I love laughing at the girls that get all hardcore dolled up…to go to a baseball game…and aren’t wearing an ounce of red, I love how my mom gets upset with my dad if he doesn’t automatically get her a hot dog (again, who doesn’t get a hot dog at the baseball game??), I love everything that is a Cardinals baseball game…even if we are playing the cubs because they just get made fun of the whole time and it’s wonderful!
Tonight I decided to take my camera down and this is what I got…
I hope you enjoyed my humor :) THANK YOU MOM AND DAD for taking me to the ballgame! I had fun as usual! The game was awesome and we beat the Padres 9 to 2, but I have to say that I really love the close games. The ones where you end up standing the whole time, the nail bitters, the ones where someone totally unexpected comes along and saves the game, etc. But this game was fun because Wainwright it a homerun!! Anyway- just thought I would share some photos from tonight, which are totally straight out of camera and not super dramatic edited in Photoshop because I’m just flat out tired…and I don’t like to “super dramatic edit” things in Photoshop. I just do minor adjustments :)
Goodnight, sleep tight!

Hi Lissy! I’m so glad you had fun at the Cards game last night! I completely agree with your captions! My entire family are hardcore Cardinals fans also and Carpenter is my number 1 too! Wainwright and Skip are a close 2nd! It’s funny that the grounds crew is your dad’s dream job! (My brother and I have always talked about how awesome it would be to do that too.)
Anyways, I’ve really enjoyed looking at your site! You’re way creative and have loads of great idea’s! I love photography and I love messing around and taking pictures of my neice and nephew just for fun!
I just wanted to say Hi and keep up the good work!

Okay, this might sound crazy, but it’s been on my mind lately. One of the things that I love about Cardinal basesball is the example that some of these men set in our community and for our children. There are several Cardinal players who attend our church and are there on the weekends worshipping with their wives and children, just like everyone else. There is no pretense and no special treatment is requested, they just are there and then they leave and the next time I see them they are on the big screen pitching and catching. It’s pretty cool, especially for my boys to see. They are die-hard fans, and it makes me happy to know that there are deeper reasons for the admiration.
