'Bout damn time if you ask me...

I thought they were going to have to upgrade the press box before they could get the All-Star game...

I was there

I got Carpenter, Molina, Wainright, and Duncan on big photos. The lines were not fun but I did "donate" a couple hundred to cardinals care after it was over. They raised tons of money from autographs Pujols (60000) Carpenter (40,000) thats approximately One-hundred grand right there all for the kids. Also the auctions featured a David Eckstein jersey that went for 4,000! They defionitly raised plenty of money for the kids. Also for those that were there what are your thoughts on having the winter warm up in the convention center and the writers dinner in the Millenium Hotel.
go cards
