BAY AREA SHOWDOWN

Like teams in New York City and Chicago, it is hard to find one weekend during the season when both teams are in town. The San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics are both in town during the three day weekend of August 12-14, 2016. Check out MLB’s most beautiful ballpark, AT&T Park as the Giants host the Baltimore Orioles. The BART can take you across the Bay to see the area’s other team, the Oakland A’s as they battle the Seattle Mariners at the O.co Coliseum. There are plenty of things to do on your trip to San Francisco including taking a tour of Alcatraz, finding the best view of the Golden Gate Bridge or eating some of San Francisco’s famous crab cakes!

Winter Classic conversion begins at Busch Stadium

No, Busch Stadium III was not designed with hosting the National Hockey League’s Winter Classic in mind. “Why didn’t you build in the rink?” St. Louis Blues chairman Tom Stillman jokingly asked St. Louis Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III Thursday afternoon after the league’s $1 million mobile refrigeration unit arrived at the ballpark. “We probably should have thought about that,” DeWitt said with a chuckle.
