New Busch Stadium is the new Busch Stadium?

A hitters park, I presume?

Kind of boring, it looks pretty retro-by-the numbers.

i wonder if there are corporate sponsors lining up to rename the bounding streets. UNTOUCHED TERRITORY, GENTLEMEN!!!

(what exactly does the 'casino queen party porch' contain?)

Apparently a plaque (new?) near the Musial statue commemorating his
five homers in a doubleheader lists the pitchers he homered off of as "San Francisco" Giants. In 1954.

SABR list members report that the PA is hellaciously loud, and that some of the seats face the scoreboard.

The ones behind home plate?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

three months pass...

At the SABR covention, one of the St. Loo delegation promised lousy weather for next year at Busch, but this is ridiculous...

two months pass...

The next SABR Annual Convention, SABR 37, will be held July 26 to 29, 2007 in St. Louis, Missouri.

wow, St. Loo late-July heat. I guess it was too soon to book Phoenix again.
