Just a short post to pay homage to the unbelievable Game 6 between the Rangers and Cardinals that we all witnessed tonight. Truth is, however, words may not be enough to describe the truly amazing baseball game that was played tonight, it will surely go down in history as one of the most memorable World Series games of all-time. When people started to notice in the Bottom of the 9th that the Cardinals still had a fighting chance, the game was no longer being watched along with another program. David Freese's 2-strike, 2-out, 2-run game tying triple is what woke up the country. All of the sudden, the World Series that had been an afterthought to most people thus far became relevant again and all eyes were fixed on the TV. The drama that would ensue in the 10th inning only increased interest in the game as Josh Hamilton put the Rangers on the brink of their 1st World Series title with a 2-run bomb. It was far from over though as the Cardinals magic struck again in the Bottom of the 10th with heroics from Lance Berkman who tied the game once again with 2 strikes. At that point, a number of baseball fans, such as myself who had no rooting interest in the game were just hoping beyond all hope for a Game 7.
You all know how the rest of the story goes, David Freese hits a walk-off homer to dead center in the home half of the 11th and Cardinals fans went home happy. They'll go to sleep tonight knowing that the baseball season will extend for 1 more day. For those of you who had no clue who David Freese was at the beginning of the night now recognize him as a World Series hero, a title that should truly be cherished forever.
That's all for now, folks. Enjoy Game 7 tomorrow night as we prepare to crown a World Series champion before heading into the long, dark winter months that are consumed by the baseball offseason.
