Our family has been enjoying the Cardinals baseball season since we attended Opening Day back in March. But, this season may have been the best ever! At the end of August, the Cardinals were 10 1/2 games out of the wild card race. We had pretty much given up hope. The Cardinals did not give up though. They ended up winning the wild card race on the last day of the season, beating the first place Phillies in the first round, and beating the Brewers in the second round to win the National League Championship. World Series...here we come!
The World Series was the best I've ever seen - a back and forth, up and down battle between the Cardinals and the Texas Rangers. After an epic game 6 in which our hometown hero, David Freese, hit a winning, walk-off homerun, we went to game seven. And, we won! What a comeback! The Cardinals won their 11th championship in 2011! Amazing! It's a season we will never forget!
