This year’s World Series was one of the most exciting in history, highlighted by Game 6 in which the Cardinals came back multiple times to win in extra innings. For the first time in years I found myself watching every game of the World Series and enjoying it. Usually if the Yankees are not in the series I watch maybe a couple of games and don’t really think about it, but this series kept me wanting more. I can’t think of a World Series that has been this exciting in a long time.
The drama and back stories with the Cardinals going from having virtually no chance of making the playoffs and had to beat two tough opponents in the Phillies and Brewers. Texas had a lot of hope to return to the World Series after falling to the San Francisco Giants last year. After last year’s loss the Rangers were hoping to win the franchise’s first championship. In dramatic fashion the Cardinals were able to come back to win the series. To make it even more special, longtime manager Tony La Russa announced shortly after the win that he would be retiring. This was such a fitting ending for one of the best managers ever. What this Cardinals team was special and the whole team, especially Tony La Russa should be extremely proud of their team.
