Greatest comeback in WS history.

Let's see that one on NES RBI Baseball.

The Cards fan in me wants to agree but the baseball history geek immediately wants to bring up the 1929 Philadelphia A's and their comeback from down 8-0 in the bottom of the 7th versus the Cubs to go ahead 3 games to 1. What makes that comeback all the more amazing is that they scored 10 runs in the bottom of the 7th alone. I still have an issue of Sports illustrated from the 1990s with that team on the cover. The article went into a ton of detail on that team and it made such an impression on me that I remember it to this day. I believe it is still the greatest (numerically anyway) comeback in baseball postseason history.

(Scroll down to the second story for some details. Even back then the Cubs sucked!

Holy [expletive] I completely forgot that we loaded the bases in the 8th after the Craig HR and got nothing. I thought that was our chance. Just looking through the play by play.

I was reading through the NSBB thread on Game 6, which is quite entertaining. Better yet, because the forum takes ads, this was the ad at the bottom of the page:

"Relive all the greatest moments of the 2011 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals."

That is too rich for words.

The Game 6 comments at NSBB are a fascinating foray into the tortured psyche of Cubs fans. It's wonderful but sad. If they didn't have the golden child coming in next season... yikes.

Link?

Ok I read them and I am again very thankful for GRB. If you want to understand about the "best fans in baseball" etc... just compare game threads. That was [expletive] mind numbing, but I come to expect that from Cubs fans. As a group they are just dumb about baseball.

Like Jim, in bottom of the 8th, I thought that was the Cardinals chance.

Anyway here's a bunch of youtube vids of the night. feel free to add more when you find them.

I also thought the Shannon call was a little bit of a letdown. I was hoping it would be a little more insane sounding since it was one of the biggest home runs in Cardinal history. I still haven't heard one that sounds like the announcer is out of control. Forget the calls from the announcers, YouTube home movies is where it's at.

I don't understand these youtube videos at all. How can you be at the game and think to pull your phone out to take a video? That is crazy to me. Glad they did it but it's absolute insanity.
