One day later the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers to win the NLCS 4-2.

| World Series, St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers (Wordle) |
The Cards are my new home team and made a fantastic turnaround from 10 games behind in the Wild Card race in late August to where they are today: National League Champions. TLR may get criticized a lot, but you can't argue with results, especially with all the injuries they had to endure. I will be cheering for them on the outside.
The Rangers ball club appears to be built better with the best team batting average in the Majors (.283), second best slugging percentage (.460), and second most home runs (210). They can hit, run, and have great depth in the bullpen. Ron Washington is a great manager who is both intelligent and very entertaining to watch. This will be the Rangers' second consecutive appearance in the World Series, as well as their second appearance overall, and is among the six Major League organizations who have never won a World Series crown. To top it all off, Nolan Ryan was my childhood idol.
Will the Cardinals win their 11th World Series or will the Rangers win their first?
I'll be honest. I really don't mind who wins the World Series.
