O - M - G. The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series last night, defeating the mighty Texas Rangers 6 - 2 in the final game of the best of seven series. The team was given up for dead in mid-August. What a thrill for our city. But it's sooo late. More on Saturday morning, Redbird time.
I think for people who have not lived in St. Louis, it is hard to imagine how important the Cardinals are to the culture and spirit of the city and its people. I still cherish the memories of the 1964 and 1967 World Series victories for the Cardinals, and the 2011 season, highlighted by Game 6, will provide memories for Cardinals fans for decades to come.
Congratulations, Bob. St. Louis deserves its day in the sun. I am from Boston, and the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots have all given the city reason to celebrate. I can take a pass in baseball this year and appreciate your joy.
Funny thing, Bob. I was down there about 2pm, stepped out of the car wanting shots of the media and fans milling about before the game, got a block away from the car and realized.......my battery was on the charger back home. I was livid at myself.
Neat atmosphere. Great game. Improbable season. Good to be a fan. Mental note: Never leave home without the battery. (Of course, this isn't the first time I've made that mental note.)
