Do you remember the way baseball used to be? The colorful players that played just because they loved the game and the smells of fresh cut grass, rosin bags and pine tar. Former Cardinals player Joe Garagiola looks at what is right with America’s favorite past time in his book Just Play Ball. Garagiola, who played for the Cardinals for five seasons and was a broadcaster for many, will be speaking at the M.A.C. Downtown on Mon., July 30 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. as part of the KMOX/Fontbonne University Book Club hosted by Charlie Brennan.

Lion King at the Fox
Catch This Visual Masterpiece Before Its Gone.

Tickets are still left for several shows in July to see Disney’s The Lion King. This visual spectacle is one you don’t want to miss. The dates remaining are July 20 and July 27. Tickets are $125 and include: the premier theatre tickets, a three-course dinner, transportation to the Fox, a M.A.C. guide for the trip and garage parking. This deal is too great to pass up.

As the lights dim for the show to begin one would never expect the exquisite costumes and stage props that director Julie Taymor has created. There is everything from six foot tall giraffes to flying birds and life-size elephants.
