World Series

We have reached the end of the baseball season with the St Louis Cardinals winning the world series. What an outstanding achievement for this ball club. David Freese who hit .348 average, 1 home run and seven runs batted in. He was the MVP of the series. Game 6 in my mind proved St Louis were destined to win the world series. The rangers were one strike away in game six not once but twice from winning the World Series. Freese came up clutch in the ninth inning of that game to tie it at 7-7. . Rangers scored two runs in the top of the 10th off a Josh Hamilton home run. Then Lance Berkman tied the game in the bottom of the 10th. Then in the bottom of the 11th MVP David Freese said sorry bout it to the rangers and forced a game seven with a solo home run. St Louis won game 7, 6-2. In my mind this was one of the most impressive teams in baseball history. If the Phillies do not sweep the Braves the last three games of the season St Louis never would have earned the wild card. they were ten and a half games back in the wild card on September second and our now World champions. This is a remarkable under dog story and all credit is due to Tony laRussa. He in my mind deserves manager of the year. To be able to work with so much adversity this season and still win a world serious is a true story of what champions do. Sad to see the season end, but looking forward to the off season trades and the Yankees to be the 2012 World champions.
