I used to serve on the board of a Lutheran youth organization that holds youth conferences around the country. A few years ago, during the hottest weak on record there, we held our conference in St. Louis, Mo. One night we took 1,200 or so of the teenagers to a baseball game at Busch Stadium (old). When you take that many people to one game, the marketers give you a few perks such as letting you designate someone to throw out the opening pitch, letting your top-notch youth choir sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and stuff like that.
