One of my favorite memory's that I would bottle up is the 2011 World Series. I remember that everyone coming into the series was doubting the Cardinals would win. We were facing the Texas Rangers, who had already been denied accsess to a World Series victory the year before, and it would have been their very first one. So nobody expected them to get rejected again. But they did. In the cruelest fasion. With 2 outs and down 2 runs in the 9th inning, down to the teams last strike, the Rangers so close, and then a triple off the right field wall. I honestly couldn't believe what had happened, and I kind of just stood there and stared at the T.V. Then I got extremely happy even though moments before I was SEVERLY angry. Poor Rangers fans, they must have gone through a lot the last three years. Then the Rangers were back on top, again by 2 runs, and another comeback, this time tied up by Lance Berkman. after allowing no runs the next half inning, David Freese came up again delivered a big hit, but this time into the bleachers in center field. I didn't mind that at all. So we got the walk off hit, came back the next day to play Game 7, and blew the Rangers out of the water. Poor guys, never stood a chance. And that, is the end of extremly long, exiting, happy filled memory of something that I think would be really cool to relive again. Oh, and plus it was with most of my family, like my grandpa. who died about 6 months ago. So that's another reason.
