40 days!

The long wait is almost over!!! 40 days til pitchers and catchers report!!! 88 days til Opening Day!!! I really don't like winter... Not just because its so cold! I like the snow, just not the cold! I don't like winter because there's no baseball! Last year was fun cause I rode the Game 6 high and winning the World Series all the way to Opening Day!! This year we don't have that!!!

It also kind of stinks because the Cardinals have been so quiet! The Cardinals have made very few moves, and they have made me sad with what they have done! Hopefully this will all pay off with 12 in 13! Yes I'm starting it right now! I started saying it when the Cardinals lost Game 7 of the NLCS. Yes that just shows how dedicated I am.

So I have finally sent in my Fan Cave application and video. Now its just up to MLB to pick me! If you like this blog, please follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EmilyCallisForThe2013MlbFanCave. This can only help my chances!! I'm also attaching my essay since I can't post it on Facebook. Full steam ahead to the Fan Cave!!!

I would be the ideal fan to live in the MLB Fan Cave because I watch every game at home during the season. I went to 12 Cardinal games this year, 11 at home and 1 in Colorado. I tweet about the Cardinals several times a day and actually annoy all of my followers because I tweet so much. I spend so much time thinking about the Cardinals and following them and tweeting to them, I feel like I know them! I was at Game 6 in 2011 when David Freese hit the triple to tie the game and the home run to send us to Game 7. I remember watching Game 5 this year and crying because I was so happy that we made it to the NLCS, and then crying during Game 7 because we lost. I love all of my Cardinals; I have been a fan since before I was born. I have gone to so many games that I don’t even know how many I have been to. I have pictures with Willie McGee and many others and almost touched Mark McGwire once at spring training. I would love to take part of MLB Fan Cave because it seems like the best place for me. I am a huge fan of baseball and all I do is talk about it anyway so why not do it here? I could go on for hours talking about who is going to win the World Series, and why the Cardinals just didn’t have enough gas left to get there this year. Thanks to the Cardinals I know what I want to do with the rest of my life, and that is to be a radio/tv broadcaster. I would love to work with KMOX and broadcast the games. If I were to become a part of the MLB Fan Cave, this would be a great start for me. So please choose me!
