#OTD 2011 - Before a frenzied standing-room only crowd at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals win their 11th World Series Championship.
The Rangers scored twice in the first inning and fans were worried that the game 6 heroics didn't carry over.
But "that man" was still lurking - David Freese tied the game at 2 with a two-run double in the bottom of the first and Allen Craig's third inning one-run homer put the Cardinals ahead for good.
Chris Carpenter settled down to pitch 6 strong innings. Arthur Rhodes, Octavio Dotel and Lance Lynn followed Carp on the mound to keep the Rangers off the scoreboard.
Jason Motte then gets the Rangers 1-2-3 in the ninth inning to close it out.
⚾️ Final score, 6-2
🏆 David Freese was named the MVP

We all know we haven’t been given a lot of those these past few years.
Need to make the stadium LOUD🐯
