Sportsman's Park Site

"I took my wife and grandkids on Friday night . We went at 6 hoping to beat the crowd. walked in and no one was waiting. Went up to the hostess and said table for four. She said it will be a 25-30 wait. I looked around again and then asked how many ahead of us? She responded no one. I asked why the long wait. Her response was i say that to prevent people being mad. So we waited. We heard a loud crash from the bar and turned to look and saw an older man fell trying to get out of the bar stool and was just laying there. I turned to the hostess and said that man just fell. Her response was "what do you want me to do about it I am just 16 yeas old. I said get the manager. I had laryngitis so was trying my best but she just stared at me I continued saying get your manager. A waitress came up and said he was on his way that I needed to calm down ( apparently she thought I was yelling but had to strain to get the words out. Eventually (after the man was helped up by his family had left). the manager shows up from somewhere and was immediately abrasive. Asked what happened and when I stated what the hostess had said about being 16 he jumped in and said she does a great job and would never say what she said to me nor act how I said she did. A bye-stander (the girls mother for all I know) jumped in and told the manager that the hostess did nothing wrong and I should not have yelled and she didn't see anyone fall. The manager then asked us to leave which we would have anyway. On the way out i asked the people sitting next to the man that fell, "you saw him fall didn't you?" Their reply was "we are not getting involved" What has happened to humanity. Not only was I trying to get help for the man but I own my company and you get an incident report filled out before the victim leaves. I hope they get a huge lawsuit."

"Love that y'all preserved this historical home of World champions & kids can play on same ground as Hall of Famers like Stan Musial, Roger Hornsby, Bob Gibson etc."

"It was cool to see this area and hear of its history of the Brown's and the Cardinal's throughout the early 1900's. If you haven't seen it, it is one to stop by and be sure to read up on the history while you're there."

"Great place in history"

"This site, now home to the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, has a rich history of sports, hosting MLB games (St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns), NFL games (St. Louis Allstars, St. Louis Gunners, and St. Louis football Cardinals). After the baseball and football Cardinals moved to Busch Stadium, in 1966, the land was donated, by owner August Busch, to the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, and is used for youth sports today. It's amazing to think that the site has hosted sporting events since 1866, and heartwarming to know it's still benefiting the youth of St. Louis."
