Cardinal fans double dip at ball game

A handful of local St. Louis Cardinals baseball fans couldn't stand missing Game 7 of the World Series Friday night, but they weren't about to miss the Rocket football game either.

So, Darrick Myers brought a generator, flat-screeen TV and antenna to Rocket Stadium and rigged up a makeshift living room for himself and friends to double dip.

They were well pleased with the Cardinals' 6-2 victory for their 11th World Series title, the second most only to the New York Yankees. The Cardinals beat the Rangers in seven games.

Myers and Todd Riley are pictured above. Myers was able to see Game 2 of the World Series in person when he and his father, Ronnie, scored some tickets along the firstbase line.

As for the Rockets, these fans were not as pleased. Crittenden was shutout by visiting Madisonville. Read more about that game by clicking here.
