We Have New World Series Champs

The St. Louis Cardinals shocked the world when they came back and won Game 6 of the 2011 World Series when St. Louis third baseman, David Freese, in the bottom of the 11th inning, hit a walk off homerun off  Texas reliever, Mark Lowe, sending the Series to Game 7 and possibly shift the momentum from the Rangers to the Cardinals.

In Game 7, Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter made the start with only three days rest after game 5 against Texas starter, CJ Wilson. In Game 7, the Rangers looked to have this game in the bag when they immediately got two runs in the top of the first off of Carpenter. Sadly, in the bottom of the inning, the Cards tied it up and ran with it the rest of the game.

After the game, the commissioner of baseball, Bud Selig, crowned the St. Louis native, David Freese, the World Series Most Valuable Player. Freese later won a local Little League field a new make over, thanks to the MLB's partnership with Chevy, and they also rewarded David with a brand new custom made 2012 Corvette.

The Texas Rangers, as well as the St. Louis Cardinals, most certainly did not play as a World Series contending team, making more than enough errors, both mentally and with their glove. 

Albert Pujols might not be a Cardinal as he goes up for free agency next year ,and what a way to be remembered, as Pujols hit three homeruns in Game 3 of the World Series in Arlington, Texas.  

What a World Series it was, and I can't wait for baseball next year!
