ST. LOUIS -- There was a lot of buzz during Game 7 leading up to the Cardinal's eleventh World Series win.

Apparently it was so exciting that hundreds of baseball fans left personal items behind.

CNN's Wade Smith visited Busch Stadium in St. Louis and spoke to Ashly Moore who stated it's not too late to claim your belongings.

Down in the tunnels of Busch Stadium is a room they keep all of the lost and found items.  She keeps a running total of all the forgotten items throughout the season.  198 cell phones, 73 baseball gloves, 188 credit cards ...  2049 items this year.  Her office has become an overflow area  here's some wallets and cell phones.

The most interesting find?

Dentures left behind on opening day.

If you think you've lost a personal item, you have 30 days to come claim the item. On the other hand, you have 60 to 90 days to claim a wallet, purse or cell phone.

After that time, all items will be given to Goodwill or be destroyed.

You can reach the Busch Stadium lost and found at 314-345-9882 ... but hurry, it's almost time to clean house!
