All-Star Night at the Game in St. Louis

Wow! What a fun and exciting evening I had last night when I had the privilege to attend the 80th All-Star Game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Here's a few pictures:

A mini-arch outside the stadium near where we stood in line (for half-an-hour) because of extra-tight security with President Obama's visit.

The Clydesdale horses open up the festivities inside.

The American and National Leagues' lineups.

President Obama--who threw the first pitch--shaking hands with fans later in the evening.

Oh, and by the way, I was one of the few to shake his hand. How exciting is that!

The President very graciously stopped on his way to the broadcast booth to shake hands with a few of us who were trying to catch a peek of him as he scurried by with this entourage. It was so generous of him to take the time from his schedule to greet us. That's a homerun in my book.

I'll share some more pics from the game tomorrow and highlights from the Robin Falls Kids Story Time radio program I was on this morning.
