Home Run Derby Tag

Its only May 10th and we have already had an incredible year in baseball.   Thanks to Phillip Humber we have seen the 21st perfect game in MLB history, and on Tuesday night Josh Hamilton belted 4 dingers in one game to become only the 16th player to do so.  These two incredible achievements have never been accomplished in the same season until now.

In addition, Angels pitcher Jered Weaver pitched the 10th no-hitter in Angels franchise history on May 2nd.  This is the second no-hitter for the Angels in as many years.  Ervin Santana hurled the other no-hitter on July 27th of last year.

In other historical news, Jamie Moyer became the oldest player in MLB history to win a game at 49 years old.

For the first time since 1966, St. Louis is hosting the Major League Baseball All Star Game.  I could not be any more excited.  This is a great ballpark.  If you haven't been to this stadium yet, you are truly missing out. 

First of all, it is nothing like old Busch Stadium.  On a summer night, you will get a breeze!! The current Busch Stadium was actually built around the old stadium.  When you are walking down the lower level concourse, the old scoreboards are hanging up in the same spot as they were during the final game at old Busch Stadium. Also, It's hard not to notice the St. Louis Arch behind the outfield. 

When purchasing your tickets for the All Star Game or Home Run Derby, keep in mind that there are no bad seats at Busch Stadium.  I personally like sitting on the 200 level.  Great view of the stadium, plus you are not too high up either.  if you are on a budget, there is nothing wrong with sitting on the 400 level either.  No obstructions.  Of
