June 27 -- Game Two

The game started just after noon. The bad news was the temperature was 99. The good news was we were now in the second deck just in back of the left field pole…it was called the Casino Queen section. It was in the shade which made the game bearable. The attendance was just under 43,000 but many of the paid guests must have stayed at home or were in the concourse watching the game and staying away from the heat.

As in Cleveland, Albert Pujols singlehandedly beat the opponents. His TWO two-run homeruns were enough to beat the Twins 5-3. Mauer did not play – he pinch hit in the ninth and grounded out.

St. Louis has a Metro which is really nice. It takes you right to the game and they have many park and rides along the route. This is the way we are getting to the games.

We ate at Phil’s Bar B Que in St. Louis – the are known more for their steaks. They were highly rated so we tried it out for dinner.
