With the baseball community consumed by all the clamor surrounding the Chicago Cubs and the potential of their first National League pennant since 1945, it seems prudent to note that the league representatives in five of the last six World Series will be opponents this weekend at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals won the World Series in 2011 and lost it in 2013. In 2010, 2012 and 2014 the San Francisco Giants not only qualified for the Series by winning the National League pennant, twice at the expense of the Cardinals, but they proceeded to win the World Series, too.
