Taken on 9/30/1990 from the last seat in the top row behind home plate. By the time the stadium closed in 2005, the artificial turf had been replaced by natural grass and a scoreboard and markers commemorating the numbers of great Cardinals of the past had been erected in the upper deck of center field.

This photo is from 1963, and was taken by my late father, using Ektachrome slide film. The camera was a Voigtlander Prominent, 35mm rangefinder with a Nokton 50mm lens. Dad took my brother and me to the last game of Stan Musial's career at old Sportsmans Park in St. Louis. I've cropped the original and zoomed in to get a better look at the famous number 6 getting the last hit of his Hall of Fame career, (it was a single to right field past a rookie 2nd baseman by the name of Pete Rose). I also adjusted the color a bit from the slightly bluish original, but Dad did the most important thing by tripping the shutter at just the right moment, perfectly capturing the final swing of one of baseball's all-time great hitters. Nice job, Dad!

This is another shot I took at Stan "The Man" Musial's last game. . .September 29, 1963. . .I was 13 years old and using my first camera, an old Kodak Brownie, shooting 127 slide film. . .so the quality is not that great. . .I tweaked this shot as much as I could in Photoshop, and for as old a photo as it is, I think it's about as good as it can be. . .The Cardinal at bat is Ken Boyer, my favorite as a kid growing up in St. Louis. . .He would be the National League MVP the next year and hit a grand slam in the 1964 World Series to beat the Yankees in Game 4 at Yankee Stadium. . .The Cardinal on deck is Bill White, who was a very good first baseman for several years for the Redbirds and would make history when he became the first black president of the National League. . .and the guy out at 2nd Base for the Reds is the man who ended up with more hits than any player in history. . .none other than Pete Rose. . .who was National League Rookie of the Year that season. . .So, lots of history in this shot. . .Stan had already left the game at this point after driving in the first run of the game with a single past Rose in the 6th inning. . .and the man he drove in with his last hit was Curt Flood, who would turn baseball upside down about 6 years later when he sued baseball and began the process which led to free agency for players. . .What an afternoon!!! This day is one of my greatest memories and helped make me the lifelong baseball fan that I am. . .This ballpark hosted 10 World Series and 3 All-Star games and was torn down in 1966. . .
The original pictures used in this 4-shot panorama were taken from the lower deck bleacher seats across the street from Busch Stadium.
The rounded effect of the seating area is due to the use of Photoshop's software. Not literally accurate but a nice effect!

Busch Stadium
St. Louis, Missouri
For fireworks friday and in honor of the 1st game of the 2014 MLB playoffs for the St. Louis Cardinals tonight, here is a shot from the fireworks show that followed the Cards' game on July 4th this year. The fireworks show wasn't the most amazing I've seen, but the cool part was they were shot from all around the stadium so you had a good view from wherever you sat.
Enjoy. Thanks for your views, comments, & favs!
Oh and... Go Cardinals!

Taken before the game on 8/7/08 between the Dodgers and Cardinals.
From 2006-2008, I worked about forty games a year on radio for the Dodgers partnering with Rick Monday in the broadcasts.

The Cardinals host the Marlins for an afternoon game on May 17, 1998. Brian Jordan, who had five hits that afternoon, connects for one them in this at bat. Check out the box score at www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1998/B05170SLN1998.htm. This is a redo of a picture previously uploaded.
