Excited for my trip

[82birds]

Have fun. Can't speak for the other two, but Springfield is an excellent minor league venue. Used to take my grandkids there a couple times a year.

100%. It's a great stadium. I saw Oscar Taveras there a few times -- and now his Kid is in the Mets' organization.

My granddaughter had a foul ball from Oscar land a row below her. Two big girls from NW Arkansas grabbed the ball. Oscar went three for three off a lefty named Montgomery who later pitched for KC and the Cubs. He had a really fine swing. His death caused a ripple effect on the Cardinals that they are just beginning to get over.

kinda like Len Bias with the Celtics

Exactly. Celts had a hard time getting over that one. I still watched basketball pros back then.

No love for The Original Fried Pie Shop? I'm usually in too big of a hurry to get out of your neck of the woods to sit down at Lamberts, but I never miss bringing home a few pies.

Yea there is normally a line and many buses stop there. The good news it’s 3 minutes off the interstate, almost directly in between STL and Memphis.

I live in western Iowa so the trip is a nice circle. I have been to 19 big league parks but I have always wanted to do this Cardinals minor league circle and the teams are all home at the same time.

That sounds great. Enjoy!

The seventies would have been great with Cleveland, Reuss and Carlton.
