The company I work for sponsored the promotional give-a-away at the Cardinal – Pirates game today.
They also gave my department some tickets to the All-Star Suite as well.
Free food and beer?
Yes please.
Winning the game with Kolton Wong’s walk off home run at the top of the 9th was a bonus.

DramaQueen and I went to the ball game courtesy of tickets she received from school. We were in Section 344 – Infield Pavilion…high up but an awesome view.
Molina broke his bat and grounded out to the shortstop in the bottom of the 1st.
The setting sun cast a glow over downtown.
A beautiful breeze was blowing all evening here in the upper decks. It was lovely.
We saw a winner!

My dad had given me 4 tickets to today’s Cards-Cubs game last week – and it wasn’t something I was going to miss, even with a freshly broken wrist. The tickets were in the Champions Club (each ticket had a face value of $151.00!) where we fed on an all-you-could-eat buffet, quenched our thirsts with a wide choice of beverages (alcoholic or non), and could watch the game inside the air-conditioned club or in our shaded, ceiling fan-cooled seats. Now you know why I was going to the game no matter what. I took my cousin Kathleen, my sister and DramaQueen. It was a great game – we ended up SWEEPING the Cubs this series with Pujols’ bottom of the tenth inning home run. Good times.
The view from our seats.
“That’s a winner!”

My dad gave us tickets for the ball game tonight…Section 153 Row 1. The first section behind the field boxes. Not too shabby of seats. HandsomeHusband had a meeting, so it was just me and the kids. Being the frugal person I am, we parked at my brother’s work and brought in our own water and sodas in a soft-sided cooler. We spent $20.00 for 3 hotdogs and a pretzel, $6.00 for cotton candy, $6.00 for ice cream and $5.00 for peanuts and sunflower seeds…oh, yeah and I bought myself a beer-$8.75 including tip…so that’s $42.75 for the evening. Not bad considering! We were witness to Matt Holliday’s first game as a Cardinal and we ended up beating the Los Angeles Dodgers who have the game’s best record (62-37). Go Cards!
