As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

September 11, 2018 – Cardinals 11, Pirates 5 – Busch Stadium (St. Louis)


 
Attendance: 37,187
Duration: 3:23
Weather: 67 degrees, Clear
Wind: N 0 MPH
Umpires: HP: Nelson. 1B: Fletcher. 2B: Diaz. 3B: Gonzalez.
 
Section 254, Row 4, Seat 11 – Infield Redbird Club, 200 level, about halfway down the third-base line
 
Game notes – Miles Mikolas fanned an unusually high (for him) 7 batters in his 7 innings of work for St. Louis, allowing just a single run on 5 hits and 1 walk … the Cards plated 2 in the first on a two-run double by Marcell Ozuna, but didn’t manage another baserunner for the next 4 frames … they finally scored another 2 runs in the 6th on a wild pitch by Pittsburgh starter Trevor Williams and a sac fly by Paul DeJong, and widened their lead on another wild pitch an inning later … the home team broke it open with 6 in the bottom of the 8th, ruining the major-league debut of Nick Burdi, who gave up a 3-run moonshot to Tyler O’Neill … the Pittsburgh offense finally came to life at the end, scoring 4 off Luke Weaver before Tuesday night’s winning pitcher John Brebbia was summoned to record the final out
 
Other – the “Infield Redbird Club” seemed more spacious and less crowded than the comparable area at Nationals Park, and they also had reasonably-priced pizza slices ($5.75 for cheese, pepperoni, or veggie)
