Farewell Busch Stadium

"WHEN THERE ARE LINES UPON MY FACE FROM A LIFETIME OF SMILES, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO EMBRACE FOR ONE LONG LAST WHILE, WE CAN LAUGH ABOUT HOW TIME REALLY FLIES, WE WON'T SAY GOODBYE, CAUSE TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL IN MY EYES" ~Anonymous~ "...It's not about the concrete doughnut itself, or the grass or the seats. It's not about the unique structure, even if it's a circular image that will burn in many a baseball fan's eye for years to come. It's about the people. It's about Bob Gibson. It's about Lou Brock. It's about Ozzie Smith. It's about Darryl Kile. It's about Tony La Russa. It's about Albert Pujols. It's about Jack Buck. It's about the memories. And, be it as it may, Thursday night was another memory to put in the Busch Stadium scrapbook, the final entry. But there are many more memories to be created for this proud franchise, and they will be created just a matter of yards away at the new yard next door. It'll be different, yet it'll be the same. Busch Stadium is gone. Long live Busch Stadium. " John Schlegel
