 ST. LOUIS (AP) - With a resounding thud, a wrecking ball smashed into the southwest side of Busch Stadium on Monday to make room for a new ballpark, while St. Louis Cardinals fans reminisced about Mark McGwire knocking home runs out of the park or Lou Brock stealing bases.
Hundreds of observers lined nearby streets or dotted rooftops to watch the first swings of the 5-ton wrecking ball.
"It was sickening," longtime fan Mary Ann Budrovich said. "No turning back now."
