After three games against the Reds, St. Louis plays two against the Chicago Cubs and Sammy Sosa, who is three homers behind McGwire in the Great Home Run Chase of 1998. We're all hoping he does it against the Cubs. They're our biggest rival. The only tickets remaining for the home stand were in the nose-bleed sections for the game tonight, and they were expected to be gone by this morning. The rest of St. Louis' home season is a virtual sellout.
People talk very freely about baseball here.
That's what's great about St. Louis. Everybody thinks they own part of the team. They take it personally. It is illegal to scalp tickets within the St. Louis city limits or sell them at face value on stadium property. If those tickets are stolen, you're not staying in the ballpark.
