Odometer Reading – 5639.1
Da MF Man is a baseball fan. He can quote stats about the Chicago White Sox at the drop of a hat. I pay attention to baseball during the World Series and the snippets I catch on ESPN. On this day, we went across town to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
I had some knowledge about this part of baseball history but I had no idea how about the number of teams, the depth of the stories, and the true significance of the Negro Leagues. It was amazing, inspiring, and downright awesome. I left the museum with a newfound respect for the game. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside the museum so…here are a few shots from outside:
After the museum, we headed towards St. Louis. The drive was relatively quick. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Out of all the places we stayed at on this tour, this hotel gave us the best customer service. We got a discount on the room. They called inside of an hour to be certain we had everything we needed. And the continental breakfast….NICE!!!
Tomorrow…Six Flags over St. Louis (More roller coasters!!!)
