Cardinals Win the World Series!

With the Cardinals winning the World Series tonight in an exciting game 7 (although not as exciting as game 6) it marks the end of the 2011 baseball season. Jordan and I have have enjoyed season tickets with the Angles for the past 4 years. Sadly this year they were not even in the playoffs, but we still enjoy going to the games. We just renewed our season seats for the 2012 season. We share the tickets with 2 other couples. It works out to just the right amount of games for Jordan after we sell a few of the games.We have also seen the Angels on the road at many different stadiums. This past summer we followed the Angels to New York and watched them take on the Mets at Citi Field.
