Excitement over Busch III made the loss of Busch II easier to take. I was fortunate enough to be at the first baseball game played, which was the exhibition game between the two minor league clubs. It was strange going to a ball game that was not at Busch II. Quickly I warmed up to it. Over this first season, I went to 7 regular season games and then the first post season game at the new home (8 games total). I saw 6 wins and 2 losses. The best highlight in the games I attended was the Wed. night game in the last week of the season against the Padres while the Cards were in a free fall. Down 2-1 in the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs, Pujols hit a 3 run shot into the new Big Mac Land, which was the first homer to land there. The Cards win the game and manage to win the division. Besides that, there has already been many memorable moments in the new Busch. I am certain that this is the tip of the iceberg as Busch III has already shown that it can win the hearts of those fans who hated to see Busch II go. GO CARDS!
