Old Busch Stadium

I have been to many games at old Busch Stadium.  A few that come to mind are Ozzie Smith's last regular season game, a Cubs vs Cards game where Billy Williams threw me my first game ball and another Cubs vs Cards game which I attended with my Grandpa Jones.

Old Busch Stadium is where "Baseball Road Trip" began for what has became a summer tradition for William Hoffeditz and myself.  The inaugural road trip took place in summer of 2004 when our Cubbies were visiting St. Louis and, of course, they lost.  We rode the Metro from Hoff's grandma's house in Belleville, IL to the game.  The highlight of the trip was getting Greg Maddux's autograph!

This place deserved to be tore down!

Look at this astroturf. Who thought this was ever a good idea?
