World Series

My first clear memories of baseball are of the 1967 World Series between the Cardinals and the Red Sox when I was 8 years old. Now my son, who is nearly eight, will have a Cardinals-Red Sox World Series as his first great memory of baseball. For me, it was Gibson versus Lonborg, with Brock, Flood, Cepeda, Shannon, Javier, Maxvill, and McCarver leading the Cards. For my boy it will be... well, the pitchers aren't that great on either side, but the old Cards didn't have sticks like Pujols, Rolen, Edmonds, Walker, Renteria etc. We're wearing our Cardinals hats all day. Life doesn't get better than this.
