The 2011 season was a special one for the St. Louis Cardinals. At the end of August, our playoff hopes seemed almost dead until the Cardinals historically stormed back in September and snuck into the Wild Card on the final day of the season, edging out the Braves.
About a month later, the Cardinals found themselves in Game 6 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers, down to their final strike. Once again, our hopes seemed dead. Down by two runs, closer Neftali Feliz was one strike away, one strike away from his team clinching their first World Series title.
