I will never, ever forget where I was when this happened. I am a born-and-raised St Louis kid but found myself living in Austin, Texas, and I was at my regular bowling alley surrounded by Rangers fans. The alley had shut down but the bar stayed open so we could finish the game, and when Freese went yard, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, fell DEAD. SILENT. Except for me. I was the lone voice screaming my head off, I mean I seriously lost it, just my voice echoing across 40 empty lanes. A few of the Rangers fans even said to me, begrudgingly, "I hate to say it but that was an all time classic. All time." Everyone knew instantly that we had just watched one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, games of all time. Add to it the fact that Freese is a St Louis native and life-long Cardinals fan, and you have a script that Hollywood itself could never have come up with. Just an unbelievably special moment. VIVA CARDS!

I don’t remember where I was for this game, but I remember the World Series win too well. Living in northern Illinois, my mom and grandparents were huge cardinals fans and raised me to go against the Cubs (aka my dad and brother.) I was a clueless seven year old girl who knew nothing about baseball but I still watched the game with pride. I was in my living room with my parents and brother watching anticipating a win. As soon as that catch was made, my mom and I were up off the couch jumping and screaming. It was so funny to me because I’d never seen my mom that excited. Now here I am, turning 14 in two days, and I obsess over the cardinals and offseason is so boring. I guess that was the game that really turned me into a fan.

During the cardinals' stretch run in 2011 I was going through a very rough time just personally. I'm a fourth generation cards fan, and watching them come back in the wild card and then through to winning the World Series was incredible. But this game, and this home run, gave me more joy than I had felt in the longest time. Bottom line is, the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals, and this game, saved my life and has been a continued source of inspiration for me. And in my opinion, just for the sake of debate, this is the most dramatic home run in the history of baseball, but of course I'm biased.
