KC Royals takeover @ StL Flying Saucer

My pursuit of plate #1 is now in the home stretch. Everything will be decided this Saturday, May 11 at 10AM at the Flying Saucer in StL.

There is still no word on what will decide who finishes first, but the word "games" has been used multiple times. I would obviously rather just be able to pound a couple beers, but I plan on taking out whatever they have planned and bringing this one home for KC and the Royals.

Since we last spoke, my Cardinals opponent has overtaken me in funds. There is still time to make donations and be a part of leaving the mark of Don Denkinger right next to Busch Stadium. I am coming under my $5/beer average and hope to make a sizable donation to Royalty Fields thanks to everyone's generosity and support.

This has been amazing. I keep setting goals and you help push through them. I am told the competition from the Cardinals side will be setting up a site just like this one, so my new goal is to out raise them every step of the way.

Every dollar I earn that does not go directly towards a beer at the Saucer will be donated to Royals charities. I'm not going to eat with this money, tip with this money, pay parking, etc. I want as much possible to go towards helping people who need it and the causes supported by the team that brought you here. So please keep passing this around, sharing it with family, friends and co-workers. In the end, we can take an awesome shot at the Cardinals and support some great causes in the process.

This thing has gotten pretty crazy, you guys. I cannot thank everyone enough for their support, and hopefully things just keep going up from here. Going to drop a few quick links, and I will be back at the Saucer in 2 hours going for beers 4 -6. Hoping to have the blog up tonight.
