Fast forward 29 years and I was at Game 7 in 2011 with my son as the Cards took down the Rangers. An amazing memory and an even more cherished bonding moment.

Great story. But still glad I was at game 6 in 2011. In 1982 we got our tickets from Pee Wee Reese who was the rep for H&B( Louisville Slugger). My wife was a shareholder
