Strangers in a Strange Land

I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan.  Since I moved away from St. Louis when I was young, I have done everything possible to follow the team from afar.  When they come to whatever town I happen to live in, I go see them play, clad of course in my Cardinal red.  
Last Wednesday, the Cardinals completed a historic rally to catch the Atlanta Braves and win the NL Wild Card.  As a result, they would be playing the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS, and Games 1 and 2 would take place Saturday and Sunday at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia.

Wait, in Philly?  That's not too far away!  Maybe I could... nah....
