Cardinals Spring Training

During the month of March we spent our Sunday afternoons in Jupiter, Florida (about 40 minutes away) watching the Cardinals getting ready for their 2007 season. After the first game we started going early to watch them doing their warm-up drills where we got autographs from Tony LaRussa, David Eckstein, Chris Duncan, Aaron Miles, Skip Schumaker, and So Taguchi.

David Eckstein. At the night game in Vero beach between the Dodgers and the Cardinals, Josh took the book to get some autographs and he got several including my favorite player, David Eckstein.

Albert Pujols
Chris Carpenter
Jim Edmonds
So Taguchi
Lou Brock was at the first game we went to. Josh had been standing at the front waiting to catch a player for an autograph when the announcer said for everyone to take their seats. Right after he sat down Lou Brock came out exactly where Josh was standing and gave out several autographs. During the games, the kids got the most autographs since they were the only ones allowed in front of the rope.

OK, so I guess I am the last to hear about his blog. I've been waiting to see pix of the nursery and new apartment and they've been here all along! That is so cool that Josh got to watch the Cardinals during spring training. I'm sure he can't wait until little Hayden can go with him!
