Berkmann may be the worst enemy in Cardinals history to become one of the most beloved heroes in Cardinal history in just one season.....We don't win the World Series without him....
@@rogermoses3785 I'll never forget Wainwright pitching against Beltran and the Mets one year....bases were loaded and Wainwright struck him out and won the pennant...LOL....its odd you should mention Berkman....in 2011 we were at busch stadium the weekend of the 4th of july...we sat directly behind the 3rd base dugout...i got an excellent picture of Berkman batting and use it as my background picture on my laptop
My grandfather was part of the old knothole gang. We loved listening to and watching the Cardinals together. He was in real bad heath in 2011. I kept him up to date as best I could to his understanding. He passed in July. And we somehow won it all that year. I bought the championship dvd they came out with after that. It's still in it's original wrapping never opened up. Just could never do it. I felt they won for him even though I know that's not a reality. So basically I'm going to enjoy this because I rarely visit that year and the memories. Will never open or watch that DVD but it will never leave me either.
It did me also. I lost my job, car, apartment all in 2010. I had to move back in with my parents at the age of 27 after being on my own since I was 20. After that I got a great job, moved out o my house. Now I got a fantastic job, a great family and a good life
I remember like it was yesterday watching Game 6 in Nashville and when Freese hit that Home Run, I was screaming “IM GOING TO ST. LOUIS IM GOING TO ST. LOUIS!!” I had a ticket for Game 7! What a ride coming into Downtown from Illinois it was! Seeing that Arch on the way was something I’ll never forget! I’ve yet to go to another greater epic game than that Game 7 2011 World Series! I could hardly sleep in that Caseyville Motel 6!!😂
My family has roots from Southern Illinois and later the St. Louis region, which is why when I was introduced to the game of baseball, I was introduced to the Cardinals. As I grew up and my interests in sports wavered between baseball and other sports, I've come to realize that the St. Louis ballclub would be my favorite regardless. They are the second most successful franchise in MLB history, and the way they have achieved that is far different from the rest. When you look at all the successful eras of the franchise, there is a standout group of owners/managers and players where the personalities of these guys are seemingly larger than life. There is just a different ethos to this team and I'm 100% behind it.
5c2a. I was there.. the stadium was a crying blubbering mess 1 minute after the celebration.. There’s no crying in baseball is bullshit… I’ve never seen so many people on the same page… it was incredible..
I might have been in grade school when the cardinals won the world series (4th grade I think) but I distinctly remember the second to last game when Freeze hit that homer. I'll never forget that world series, "We will see you tomorrow night."
2011 Cardinals: overcome 10.5 games out in September to get in 2021: after trailing 4 games and a 2-5 start to September the Cardinals won 11 in a row to take the 2nd spot YEAH 10 years later same story repeats itself
Final Update: Cards won 17 games in a row as of 9/28 to clinch the second NL wild card berth. Unfortunately a loss to the Brewers ended the winning streak. This was later followed by a loss to the Dodgers in the wild card game.
Don’t count on it. There are only about 3 position players on this team that could start for the 2011 team. As far as the pitching staff is concerned, the number 3 starter on the 2011 team would be the ace of this year’s team, and the only guy in this year’s bullpen that would have a spot in the 2011 bullpen is Helsley. The 2011 team also had Tony LaRussa as manager. Comparing LaRussa to Marmol is like comparing Muhammad Ali to Tex Cobb.
For some reason this was the year I decided to follow the team from beginning to end starting in Jupiter all of the road games all of the home games and I was sitting in centerfield in game six of the World Series! That was the most incredible night I have ever head as a cardinal fan!!
Furcal was key in that championship run. The "happy flight" and his never give up attitude became infectious. I strongly believe that without him the 2011 championship wouldn't have happened.
2011 was a hell of a year for the Redbirds. But the one thing I love is my Giants came back in 2012 to go head to head against these Redbirds, in this fierce rivalry over the years. And again in 2014. Hope we can get together again soon in the postseason so the Giants can continue that dominance in the postseason against the Redbirds. Go Giants!!
If anybody else shows up (two or eleven years later depending on your scale) I want to say "Hey!" i honestly don't care what happens now... 2022 has already been a record-breaking, breathlessly beautiful season. Red-birds forever🐓😇
Since I work at Busch Stadium, the first time I watched it was at a game delayed by rain. We lost that June game to the Pirates. I was very frustrated by the team. Little did I know we would end up putting a 17 game winning streak and get to the postseason.
All during the 2011 season, the Brewers, particularly Nyger Morgan were running their mouths. This made destroying Milwaukee in the NLCS even sweeter. In fact, I got more enjoyment from winning the NLCS and ruining the Brewers season than I got from winning the World Series.
The movie that came with the DVD set was a better production I think, with more from each team, but this was good also. Game 6 was the most exciting game in my lifetime. I saw Hank hit number 715, saw all the homers in 98, seen so many huge sports moments in my lifetime, but the Freese triple in the 9th was spectacular, Berkman's hit to tie, then the Freese homer in the 11th... legendary! One of my best friend's wife's son went to Rice and played on the same college team with LB. So awesome to see Berkman get his ring after all these years, and it wasn't a free ride for him, he really earned it. Game 6 was a microcosm of the Cardinal's season. What an unbelievable year.
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics don't think maybe a change of scenery would reinvigorate him? I do. I think if he got into the sea of red cheering him on he would find it again. Yes this year isn't exactly going great for him, but he's got enough of a pedigree I'd take a flyer on him.
Rangers fan here, I had never seen the 2011 World Series from the Cardinal's perspective. I gotta say, I have a whole lotta respect for the Cardinals and David Freese now.
I felt the same way until he auctioned himself off to the Angels...THE ANGELS, for crying out loud....what if Stan Musial had sold out like that?....he wouldn't be considered the greatest Cardinal of all time had he done that...i was totally disappointed when Pujols left....i never would have believed in a million years he would have left the cardinals....St. Louis LOVED HIM....remember when he came back to Busch as an Angel...the crowd STILL LOVED HIM...yet he sold out to the almighty dollar and its not like he even NEEDED the money....this changed my attitude towards Pujols a LOT
@@flyboysteven9979 I understand your opinion, but its difficult for me to agree with it. I always try to put myself in anothers shoes, and its hard for me to criticize someone when it comes to getting more money for what someone does for a living, and it was a substantial, life changing amount. Was i dissapointed? You bet, but, if he was gonna leave, he sure left on a high note, and for a reason that we can all, maybe not agree completely with, but certainly can understand. Doesn't change a thing to me though, he was the best player i ever saw, and is my fave of all time.
@@danzemacabre8899 I agree....i just never believed he would leave the Cardinals.....i took it to mean money meant more to him than sentiment...and he was already rich beyond his wildest dreams....i still think hes a great guy and one of the best players in history.....i didnt mind LaRussa leaving but i just never expected Pujols to leave...he was too beloved......if his career had been washed up, that would be another story but there was and still is plenty of life left in him, regardless of his age...nothing would thrill me more than to see him come back to St. Louis....he could just be the spark the Cardinals need....Lord knows they need something...in the last 3 or 4 years, the Cardinals have been just like any other team and that's not normal for the Cardinals....a couple years ago, they won their division by only TWO GAMES over the Brewers...they need SOMETHiNG...either a new ace pitcher or a new slugger or SOMETHING to get their feet back off the ground..Wainwright and Yadi are getting too old anymore and they aren't like Pujols
@@flyboysteven9979 Well we got him back for 2022...lets see what happens. I don't think he's gonna make any huge impacts, but it is nice to see him wearing the birds on bat again.
My grandpa died in 2011 on October 6, I truly believe my grandpa's spirit made them make it and after he died I believe he made it to where David Freese got the power to win game 6! Love him for everything and the 2011 world series win!
I am very sorry to hear that you lost your grandpa. I've lost my grandparents, and I know how much that hurts. However, I can assure you that your grandpa had absolutely nothing to do with the Cardinals winning the World Series in 2011. That's legitimate nonsense. How many fans of the Braves, Phillies, Brewers, and Rangers lost loved ones around the same time? How many of them would have assigned that team winning to their lost loved ones? Rather than make yourself feel better about the loss of your grandfather by assigning him some (false) post-mortem magical power to influence the outcomes of baseball games, why not just remember what he actually was, and what he actually did? Again, I am truly sorry for your loss. However, that level of ridiculous thinking is not only factually wrong, but potentially dangerous, especially for those that are hurting and looking for something to grasp onto.
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics Hey man, I can believe what I want. My grandpa and I grew up bonding over the Cardinals and this is what I choose to believe. Obviously it's not likely, but it's how I like to think and how I was thinking when I was watching it happen live during the hardest time of my life. Cardinals played a great season they deserve a lot of credit for making it happen, but us fans and true believers in higher power also have some part as well. Even told David Freese the story once and he thought it was cool and he said there was something magical going on in that dugout. Thanks for the videos, I'm surprised you talk to your supporters this way.
@@TheEricHart I'm very sensitive to what I would gently term "flim-flam" being shared on here. One person might read that, and dilute themselves into thinking something harmful, dangerous, or just flat out wrong is real. I'm not interested in what makes people feel warm and fuzzy; I'm much more concerned with reality. I do not believe in anything supernatural, or any sort of higher power. If you do, I can't stop you, but I am not, nor do I care to be, convinced of things for which there is no solid evidence. My Grandma was a lover of butterflies, specifically Monarchs. The day she died, her sister was on a walk in the woods, passed by a big patch of milkweed, and saw dozens of Monarchs take off in flight. She says that at that moment, she knew her sister was dead. That's a load of bunk. The Monarchs were there because they love milkweed, and her presence scared them off. It would have happened were it the day before, or the day after. There was nothing supernatural about it. Ascribing some sort of power to someone that is dead requires an awful lot of evidence for it to be taken seriously, or at least it should. People use these types of things, as you described, as a coping mechanism. While I understand that, this is not a religious channel. This is a baseball channel. I don't want that kind of stuff on here. I do not believe that ridiculous beliefs should be respected just because someone holds them sincerely. I respect you, but not your belief. If you're going to post something that preposterous online, be prepared to get called out on it. I have enough respect for you to tell you that I am positive you are wrong, but that I am very sorry for the loss of your grandfather. There are healthier ways to gain closure than by assigning him post-mortem supernatural influence over sporting events.

I love how Lance berkman ended up being one of the biggest Cardinal heroes ever and one of the biggest cardinal killers lmao. I love that guy!! Don't ever forget that we were down to our last strike and Lance got himself a base hit.. 😊🎉😮 That saved the game!! He had some Mammoth hist That season that were very important.. He came to st. Louis because he thought there was a chance he can win a World series before he retires without one.
Can we please show a fast replay of this video before the playoffs this year?? One time for the one time while we have Yadi and Pujols. For the city, fans, and culture. give them one more reason to do it all
What film was this??? . I have a 2011 DVD but there is some extra Cardinal footage on this. Also the one I have has both Cardinal and Rangers interviews
Bro the Cardinals this year remind me of that 2011 team a bad start but than waking up in August late in year to stun and make playoffs against all odds
As a Chicago White Sox Fan I’ve always loved CARDINAL BASEBALL AND THE CARDINAL GREATS such as; Willie McGee, Ozzie Smith, Jack Clark, Will Clark, Daryl Porter, Whitey Hertzog Etc: I still stream that World Series in 1983 against the BREW/CREW which was how they became RIVALS. All in All that 2011 Series IS CLASSIC !! I also believe the 2005 World Series had we’d played each other would have been a 7 game Classic too. Game 7 in 12 innings; Chicago White Sox 7 &, St. Louis Cardinals 6……😝
Having watched every game of the 2011 season, and every game thus far of the 2021 season, they are completely different animals. The 2011 team underperformed in the first half, and, oh yeah, had a Hall of Famer Manager, First Baseman, and Catcher, as well as All-Stars in Right Field, Left Field, Third Base, Shortstop, and a Cy Young winner the Rotation. The 2021 Cardinals are about what I thought they'd be - a team with subpar offense, mediocre pitching, and virtually no depth. They're a slightly above .500 team at best. There is no way in hell they make the playoffs, much less win the World Series. In fact, I feel so confident in that assessment that if the 2021 Cardinals win the World Series, I'll buy you an authentic jersey of the player of your choice. (Yes, I mean the $380 embroidered ones; not the shitty $160 iron-on logo ones.) My money is completely safe.
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics YOUR WRONG REMEMBER HOW IN SEP 2011 THEY SWEPT BREWERS IN MILWAUKEE IN THE FIRST GAME SEP 2021 IN MILWAUKEE CARDS WON 15-4 THEY ARE 2011 TEAM 2.0 BOOK IT

me too i bought the 2011 world series box set....the cardinals most incredible year
@@iluvnolangorman4252 i do not own the 2006 set and i never will because of one thing - CHRIS DUNCAN...he was an absolute embarrassment out there in right field...he can't catch a fly ball to save his life......i remember Jim Edmonds shaking his head at him after missing routine fly balls....i just don't care to see that again
@@flyboysteven9979 no respect for the dead I see
I love how Lance berkman ended up being one of the biggest Cardinal heroes ever and one of the biggest cardinal killers lmao.
I love that guy!! Don't ever forget that we were down to our last strike and Lance got himself a base hit.. 😊🎉😮
That saved the game!!
He had some Mammoth hist That season that were very important..
He came to st. Louis because he thought there was a chance he can win a World series before he retires without one.
As the last out was made,my beer slipped rite outa my hand in astonishment
At 24:31. Would’ve never won the World Series if carp opened his eye.
Seeing a younger LaRussa is oddly satisfying.
Man I bet brewers fans hate the cards
Rip Burwell
Thought the same thing
They just might do it this year too
Great season
What about the squirrel?
I hate the fucking 'chiefs bullshit ursurpers, time to give back the crown ya buncha imbiciles
My Great Aunt dated Lance Lynn’s Dad when they were younger
If I remember correctly they showed this video during a playoff game in ‘12 while a rain delay was going on
They will not quite
Best season best ws ever. Ledgendary stuff. Go cards.
Can we please show a fast replay of this video before the playoffs this year?? One time for the one time while we have Yadi and Pujols. For the city, fans, and culture. give them one more reason to do it all
What film was this??? . I have a 2011 DVD but there is some extra Cardinal footage on this. Also the one I have has both Cardinal and Rangers interviews
When october comes it will be the 10th anniversary of the 11th title! :D
Bro the Cardinals this year remind me of that 2011 team a bad start but than waking up in August late in year to stun and make playoffs against all odds
The Rasmus trade. Best ever.
Feel like September is the cardinals hot month
2006 or 2011 ? Which is the greater underdog story ?
reminiscent of the '64 comeback. it helped that year that the phillies choked
When the Cards get hot. Watch out!
We're the RedBirds
Let’s not forget FREESE!!!
Furcal gave us a boost
C'mon who can complete with the rally squirrel 😀........
They just the Redbird
As a Chicago White Sox Fan I’ve always loved CARDINAL BASEBALL AND THE CARDINAL GREATS such as; Willie McGee, Ozzie Smith, Jack Clark, Will Clark, Daryl Porter, Whitey Hertzog Etc: I still stream that World Series in 1983 against the BREW/CREW which was how they became RIVALS. All in All that 2011 Series IS CLASSIC !!
I also believe the 2005 World Series had we’d played each other would have been a 7 game Classic too.
Game 7 in 12 innings; Chicago White Sox 7 &, St. Louis Cardinals 6……😝
This is shaping up just like this season… 2021 WS champs?
Having watched every game of the 2011 season, and every game thus far of the 2021 season, they are completely different animals. The 2011 team underperformed in the first half, and, oh yeah, had a Hall of Famer Manager, First Baseman, and Catcher, as well as All-Stars in Right Field, Left Field, Third Base, Shortstop, and a Cy Young winner the Rotation. The 2021 Cardinals are about what I thought they'd be - a team with subpar offense, mediocre pitching, and virtually no depth. They're a slightly above .500 team at best. There is no way in hell they make the playoffs, much less win the World Series. In fact, I feel so confident in that assessment that if the 2021 Cardinals win the World Series, I'll buy you an authentic jersey of the player of your choice. (Yes, I mean the $380 embroidered ones; not the shitty $160 iron-on logo ones.) My money is completely safe.
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics bet
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics YOUR WRONG
REMEMBER HOW IN SEP 2011 THEY SWEPT BREWERS IN MILWAUKEE
IN THE FIRST GAME SEP 2021 IN MILWAUKEE CARDS WON 15-4 THEY ARE 2011 TEAM 2.0 BOOK IT
@@cardinalsbaseballclassics Jersey still on the line? Cards are looking better and better. Pitching seems to be coming together with Reyes out of the closing role and players like Tyler O’Neill and Tommy Edman stepping up big lately
@@ITWnate 11 game win streak man
Comparing them to the 2011 team is true because of win streaks to get wild card spot
St Louis Cardinals vs Milwaukee Brewers Rivalry 1982
Baseball just isn’t the same. Idk if it’s because of how good quality the game looks on tv but it just doesn’t hit the same.
It’s just because your team sucks now
Damn the texas rangers🇨🇱 were so close. Feel bad for that fan base that has never won a world series
They just won in 2023
Rah!
😘
This was short edited to much but go cards champs
this team got swept by the BLUE JAYS that year softest champion ever your not a great champion if you cant sweep the blue jays
@@carter7944 Well, you can't make a really dumb comment without the wrong form of "your" (should have been "you're"). You're the softest troll ever.
Let's go dodgers
Dodgers will choke
They h8’d Scott Rolen in Philly. The radio show. H8’d. Made a point to h8. Swaps over there and fabolus ain’t Into coaching birds like Tony Larussa. They carried a lot of whites on roster.
