We started the day by taking a short trip through the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They are having a Bruce Springsteen exhibition now at the museum. Recommended, you should allow 6-8 hours to tour the whole museum. Young people might find that it has too much “old music” stuff. They may demand to be shown some “new” material 

The only thing that really hurt Cleveland’s chance for a win today was the Cardinals all-star Albert Pujols (3 for 4, 2HR, double). St. Louis wins 3-1.

Progressive Field is state of the art. Their scoreboard is high tech and gives much information. We sat in the third deck right above home plate and had a bird’s eye view of the action while sitting around many devoted Cardinal and Indian fans. Very enjoyable except they wouldn’t allow bottled water into the stadium and all the rest of the stadiums will. I didn’t know Cleveland was such a hotbed for water terrorists.

I questioned if they could squeeze anymore advertising into that park – it was even on the foul pole. Coincidentally, Cleveland still has quite an eastern European heritage and there was a foul Pole sitting right behind us, also, who had to be reminded repeatedly there were children in the vicinity. I guess I will see what the other ball parks have in the promotion area before making a final judgment on the amount of advertising.

We will be seeing the Cardinals for three games at the end of our trip when they play the Twins.
