2011 WORLD SERIES GAME 6, ST. LOUIS CARDINALS VS. HOUSTON ASTROS There is an exclusive, invite-only club whose membership is limited to heart-stopping, history-making, goose-bump generating World Series home runs. That prestigious roster now includes David Freese and his 11th-inning leadoff, walk-off home run that provided a fitting finale to a spectacular Fall Classic. In Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, on the edge of elimination, the St. Louis Cardinals trailed five times, including by two runs in the ninth and in the 10th, each of those two times down to their last strike. The Cardinals comebacks were triggered by Freese, Lance Berkman, and a resilient lineup. From Freese’ two-out, game-tying 9th inning triple, to Berkman’s 11th-inning game-tying single, to the final wondrous walk-off, all the drama, thrills, and exhilaration of this Fall Classic masterpiece are here to enjoy for the first time in high definition on glorious Blu-Ray!
