Best. Game. Ever.

In any other case, that might be an exaggeration, but after 4 months of reflection (yes, I know, we got behind again), I still stand by my assertion. As you can see, we were in the top row of the whole stadium, it was pretty cold, and tickets weren't cheap. On the other hand, we saw the most amazing game either of us had ever seen, we cheered until we were hoarse, and the Cardinals won that historic, miraculous Game 6 (then game 7 the next night).
We didn't even care that because the game had been postponed an extra day due to rain, that we had to drive through the night afterward to get back to our kids in Tulsa. It was amazing.
The game ended, and nobody left for a long time. Then, when people finally did start to leave, there were spontaneous cheers that would randomly erupt from people just walking around, and then they would crescendo into a chorus of cheers. There's hardly a sporting event I would have rather been at; one more thing checked off the ol' bucket list.
Since then, Pujols left and the team is re-tooling. But we'll never forget that night.
