This was the perfect day of baseball and Americana.  I kicked my morning by heading down to the Gateway Arch.  So far I have not really had any time to do touristy stuff in most of the cities, but I made sure to make it up to the Arch so I could take some shots of the stadium from 630 feet in the air.

St. Louis is a city that gets quite a lot of love despite being in the middle of the country.  Much of the attention is focused on the coasts with New York and Boston grabbing the majority of the headlines.  Recently the Los Angeles teams have been making waves, but for the most part the National media tends to focus on the East Coast when it comes to baseball.  Being the second most winningest team in the majors is one way to keep your name in the headlines, but having an extraordinary fan base is what makes St. Louis a city that every baseball fan needs to visit at least once.
