#OTD 2011 - In Game 6 of the World Series played at Busch Stadium, a Cardinals baseball legend was born! David Freese has one of the greatest clutch performances, in one of the craziest games in the history of the World Series. The back-and-forth game saw the Cardinals come back from a two-run deficit in the bottom of the 9th inning and again in the 10th inning - They were down to their last strike in both the 9th and 10th inning David Freese (with the Cardinals down to their final strike) smacks an opposite-field two run triple in the bottom of the 9th inning to tie the game to send it into extra innings. In the top of the 10th inning, Josh Hamilton hits a two-run home runs, seemingly giving the Rangers their first World Series Championship - but... Now trailing 9-7 as they head into the bottom of the 10th inning, the Cardinals still had plenty of fight in them. Ryan Theriot's single scores Daniel Descalso to bring the Cardinals within one. Lance Berkman (with the Cardinals down to their final strike once again) slashes a single to right-center field to tie the game at 9 and send the game into the 11th inning. 🎙️ "They just, won't, go, away." - Joe Buck Starting pitcher Jake Westbrook comes in to pitch the 11th inning, and holds the Rangers to just a single, to set the stage for Cardinals magic. The first batter of the inning is ... David Freese. Freese wins the game in dramatic fashion, with a walk-off home run to the grass in center field to send Busch Stadium into a frenzy, and the Cardinals into game 7. 🎙️ “Freese hits it in the air to center. We will see you, tomorrow night” - Joe Buck #STLCards | @Buck
