As far as the humidity, St. Louis is always intolerable in the summer so I'd just go with it.

I wonder if they put the clock directly over the big Budweiser sign as a subliminal thing. "I wonder what time it is? Oh... looks like it's time for Budweiser."cardinalkarp wrote:So its safe to say that everyone but Admiral knows how to tell time.

Re: Cardinals/Busch Stadium

This photo is zoomed in, hardly anyone is going to see that much detail on the clock from behind homeplate. The problem is the clock is 3D, and the St. Louis Cardinal lettering - asthetically, it is the opposite of 'less is more'. If you're sitting in the upper decks, or on the infield there isn't going to be a problem, but if you're sitting in the outfield, the poor viewing angle and shadows cast by the 3D lettering, makes it almost impossible to discern which hand is longer, and also between what numbers they're pointing at. Since the hands are so far away from actual board itself, being able to correctly tell where the minute hand is pointeed is usually a 2.5 +- guess in each direction.

and the game is in the 5th inning.. it's a good guess that if one of the hands is
at the 2, and one is at the 8, that it's not 2:40.. am i right?
