On Tuesday, we went to Pointers Pizzeria, known for its 28 inch pizza pies.  They have a contest where two people have to eat a 28 inch pizza with about 5 pounds of toppings in under an hour, in addition to a liter of soda, each.  Its called a Pointersaurus.  If they complete this, they win $500.  The pizza was great, but we only ate a 16" pie between the three of us.  After saying our goodbyes to our new friends, we were on our way to Kansas City, for the game against the Cardinals; a cross state rivalry!

Kauffman was built in the early 70s.  When Alon's Dad went on a road trip, him and his friend visited Kauffman during its inaugural season.  We were impressed by the modernity of Kauffman: it has an open lower level, like new stadiums, an incredible fountain that spans 322 feet in the outfield, and a retro style scoreboard.  Located in the middle of the heartland, its a nice ballpark for a small town team. 

The game was over after the first inning, as the royals scored 5 runs and never looked back.  The huge dimensions only provided us with one home run, by a pinch hitter for the Cards in the 9th.  This was their only run, as the Royals ended up winning 8 to 1.  After the game, we drove into southern Iowa, and ended up staying at a Super 8 in Osceola.  See you tomorrow in the Metrodome!
