Busch Stadium waiting...

Raining here in Busch Stadium the third. Roofs may not be "pure" but there are no rainouts at Minute Maid!

This game did get played and with only a 30 minute delay from the original start time. Watching them pull the tarp back and make all the water disappear down a drain in shallow left field was pretty fascinating.

Trying to come up with the handful of stadiums where I've seen a baseball game.

• The old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN. Saw the Twins there. That stadium is long gone. I think Mall of America is on that site.
  
• Shea Stadium. Saw the Mets play the Astros probably 20 years ago.
  
• SafeCo Field. Saw the Mariners there in 2002 and met some of my cousins for the first time (long story there).
  
• Astrodome. We've been in Houston for 27 years now. Not sure when we went to our first game at the 'Dome. Dome dogs, Dome Foam, Dome Patrol. No rainouts and always comfortable. The big scoreboard that lit up when the 'Stro's hit a homer was a sight to behold. The TV recreation of it in the new park is a pale shadow.
  
• Enron Field and Minute Maid Park. Originally to be called The Ballpark at Union Station before high flying Enron paid big bucks for naming rights. The ball park was the beginning of the renaissance of downtown Houston.
