My first MLB playoff game.

Talk about excitement! Busch Stadium was packed...I believe 52,323 was the official attendance. Even finding parking was a PITA.

In the end, the Cardinals were victorious...though not without a few heart attack-inducing moments. The final score was 10-7, and they took a 1-0 lead in the NLCS. You can read about it here.

Most noteworthy thought: from now on, I will refer to Carlos Beltran as "My Daddy". He jacked one home run and crushed another long ball about 20 feet foul into the upper deck...two sections from where I was sitting.
