2009's All Star City


We don’t have a basketball team… Our hockey team is really trying to make a comeback... Our football team isn’t at their best right now… but Saint Louis can always count on baseball!!! St. Louis has a great baseball team and great fans. No matter how bad the St. Louis Cardinals get, the fans are always at Busch Stadium clapping and cheering our team on.

St. Louis gets to host the 80th MLB All Star Game, July 14, 2009. There will be plenty of stars floating around The Lou this weekend. I just hope we give’um some of that good’ol St. Louis weather!
This year we have 3 St. Louis Cardinals on the All Star roster: 1st baseman, Albert Pujols, catcher, Yadier Molina, and reliever, Ryan Franklin. For those who may not know (but I guess you should if you are reading a sport blog) the All Star game consist of two teams... the American League and the National League. St. Louis is apart of the National League, and the American League has beat us the last 6 years, actually 11 years, not counting the year they tied. So I am praying for a grand win in the StL, seeing as though we got StL’s own, Albert Pujols, NY’s Derek Jeter, and Phillies Ryan Howard… I think we can put them away this year!!! Plus we got StL’s own, Tony LaRussa along with ex St. Louis Cards coach Joe Torres on the coaching staff. What more can we ask for… just a win!
We go to other cities and admire their building and monuments but I must admit… I Love my hometown!
