AUTO CASEY: Indiana-built 2024 Subaru Crosstrek chooses sport over wilderness
INDIANAPOLIS — I’ve been a big fan of the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness since I first drove one in Utah last summer and earlier this year back in Indiana.

I've only ever been to one baseball game in my entire life. It was at Busch Stadium on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, when the Cardinals went up against the Cincinnati Reds. I honestly don't remember much from the game itself, because that evening just so happened to be "Star Wars Night" at the stadium. While I was busy taking pictures with cosplayers, browsing fan art, and talking about Star Wars Episode VII with my buddies, others were actually watching the game. That said, I had a great time, and it was a memorable experience.
