March 12, 2016---another Cardinals spring training game!

We were suppose to be going to this game with Angie and Josh.  But they decided to move to Suwanee, Ga. then instead!  At least Josh took up residency then since he started his new job on Monday the 14th.  So we "helped" them load up another trailer full of stuff and they headed on their way ---Josh in his car towing the trailer and Angie in her car so Josh has something to drive when she brings the trailer and his car back on Tues.  Fortunately for Josh, Angie's car now has 4 new tires.  Unfortunately for them, that came about with 3 trips to tire stores on their way there!  So Ken and I went to the Cardinal game by ourselves.  It started out quite boring!  Cardinals couldn't do anything!  But they finally came alive in about the 8th inning and actually won in the 9th on a really bizarre play----we had bases loaded, one out; our guy hit a ball to the infield; the throw was to home for the out; the catcher tried to get the double play at first; his throw hit our runner and rickashayed away and our runner on 2nd went all the way home.  
This time we sat on the 3rd base side.  Got a lot more air at the top of the stands since there wasn't a plastic ad across the back.  It was a hot sunny day, but at least we had a nice breeze.
 Nice view of our bench from here.
  Even saw Wainright pitch!
lovely view from my seat. Fortnately, since we had extra seats, we were able to move over.
 happy Cardinals
