(image via the Star-Telegram. Ha!)The Cardinals are most certainly one of my most favorite things about St. Louis. And last night they did NOT disappoint. Coming from behind in both the series and the game in the 8th inning to win game 6 of the 2011 World Series against the Texas Rangers with a walk-off homerun slugged by the hometown boy (who happens to be one year my junior - feeling old?) in 11 glorious nail-bitingly awesome innings. And not only was the team - and its manager Tony LaRussa completely and totally giving it their all - the fans kept with 'em, staying to celebrate as long as they possibly could but without any ridiculous rioting or awful behavior "other" baseball towns may be occasionally guilty of.
Now, on to Game 7! Tonight is going to be the true test, but after last night (and this lackluster season), every else seems like gravy.
