David Freese's epic World Series walk-off demands a deep rewind | 2011 Cardinals-Rangers Game 6 

To understand we need to rewind, baseball was invented in 1839.

I cannot fathom being one strike away from a world series TWICE in ONE game...

In St. Louis, if you say Game Six, we all know what you’re talking about. What a game.

YOU CAN’T HURT ME ANYMORE! WE FINALLY GOT OUR RING!!!

freese will forever get cheers at St. Louis. no matter what team he ends up on

After Berkman ties, joe buck says the line that best summed the cards up "They just. Wont. Go. Away" gives me chills man

This was potentially the greatest baseball game ever played.

Rangers fans can finally watch this in peace

Freese cemented himself in St. Louis forever. He’s still on imos commercials here in the Lou too😂

As a Rangers fan, I have no idea how I made it all the way through this video.

“Freese hits it in the air to center, we will see you tomorrow night!” Gives me chills every time

And the Rangers have exorcised the 2011 demons. Congrats to them on finally breaking through!

People really forget how Godly Chris Carpenter was on the mound

The ghost of 2011 has finally been cleansed

Vindication for these demons. Congrats to the Rangers, 2023 World Series Champs!

One day here in cold Finland, I decided I'm gonna watch a full baseball game at random from RU-vid and see what it's all about. First game was some regular season game where the Giants beat the Dodgers. It wasn't a great game but still somehow attracting. I watched another one and this time I deliberately chose 2014 World Series game 7. "This is a goddamn exciting game to watch", I thought. Even though nothing that much happened in that game 7. Finally googling "greatest MLB games in history" brought me to watch Rangers-Cardinals Game 6. A grown man developed an fandom feeling from other side of Atlantic, because of a game played over 5 years ago and without any cultural roots to this game other than my own country's variant of baseball. Been a baseball-aficionado ever since.

One of the greatest games in baseball history, simply amazing

Best baseball game in history. PERIOD. From a Yankees fan

Chris Carpenter's game 7 performance is under appreciated.

I can finally watch this video and know David Freeze will never hurt me again. Bochy, Seager, Semien, and Garcia have healed all wounds.

Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez outrunning the beast deserves a deep rewind

Rest In Peace Roy Halladay, forever a jays legend 😢

As a Cardinals fan, this will always be one of the best moments that I've ever experienced

Best playoff run of all time, I dont care what anyone says.

"You're still fine. This is David Freese. He's a scrub. He's not owning you like the Yankees..." *And then he hits the ball out of the park.*

This was the World Series that made me fall in love with baseball again. Thank you.

Had been a Cardinal fan since 1960. Was at my cottage in Northern Ontario, Canada, and was able to pull in a weak radio signal. With the lights out, and through the static, I listened as the Cards somehow managed to stay alive, down to their last strike twice, and then David Freese came to the plate. Just incredible. The greatest game ever. Great post.

Rangers: one strike from first championship Freese/Berkman: im about to end this mans whole career

David has since gotten to play for all the teams he grew up hating and still gets standing Os in St. Louis.

One of the greatest games of my life being a Cards fan. Unreal. Thanks for doing this!

Nelson Cruz not being replaced for defense in the 9th inning is still one of the worst decisions in World Series history.

Rewatching this in 2022 with Pujols back in St Louis for his final season & Wainwright pitching near his best again, shows the longevity of Cardinals Magic.

As a rangers fan this is the episode I’ve always feared

I thought I would have to wait YEARS to see this THANK YOU!! Saving this one to watch later.

Here to prepare myself to get my heart broken by Game 7 tonight. Hopefully this doesn't age well

14:28 Lance Berkman's two-out game-tying RBI single in the bottom of the 10th is the most underrated hit in World Series history.

I used to be a big Rangers fan until this World Series. David Freese single-handedly killed my enjoyment of watching the Rangers game after game and I shall always remember his name in infamy.

As a rangers fan it hurts me every time I see that home run and triple just knowing we were 1 strike away from a World Series win

I still tear up when I see this. I was and still to this day so happy for David Freese. If anyone deserved a moment in the spotlight it was him.

What a run for the Cardinals!!!!!! R.I.P. Roy (Doc) Halladay

You guys should make a rewinder episode of Joe Carter’s 1993 winning World Series walk off home run. Maybe later on, the Jose bat flip. Keep up the good work boys.

I’ve commented for you to do this rewind on literally every other video, and you actually did it! YESSS!

Who here’s after he retired

I’m a Ranger fan and I’ve seen this video for abt a week in the suggestions and I’ve debated if I should watch it... goddamnit ik Joe Buck’s commentary by heart now 😭

The deep pain of a Rangers fan...

This hurts me so much as a rangers fan

Hopefully one day you'll do a deep rewind of the 2019 Blues season and their amazing run since the beginning of January

I was only in kindergarten when this game happened and I remember still, my dad jumping up and down from the recording in the morning

Do a video on the last day of the 2011 MLB regular season. The best regular season day for baseball ever. It was epic.

As a rangers fan living in Missouri I’ll never forgive this man

I can finally watch this. It can't hurt me anymore.

As a Rangers fan, this is tough to watch even after all these years. The Rangers franchise still hasn’t recovered from this game to this date, but I hope one day we do. Congrats to the Cards.

You should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"

I’ve gotta say as a rangers fan this may be the most painful moment in our history

Best video I’ve ever seen. Yes I am a cardinals fan, live in St. Louis.

That game took a few months off my life and I didn't even have a rooting interest in the game. That's how intense it was. To rally not once, but TWICE from elimination in the 9th and 10th was just insane.

Can't spell Postseason Dream without PTSD. This World Series is like one big nightmare for all of Texas

Armando Galarraga’s 28 out perfect game deserves a deep rewind. Love these videos!

Cards have historically done better in WS when behind,for my money, Best come back . in series history. Well made video, thanks.

Great job on this. I am convinced that watching this game took years off my life. Such a roller coaster.

Would love to see a Rewinder all about game 162 in 2011, with Longoria's walk off being the focus

Do Joe Carter's walk off home run in game 6 of the 1993 World Series for the next rewinder

The 2019 St. Louis Blues needs a deep rewind.

This game was one of the greatest I've ever seen in any sport. As a Cardinals fan it was epic to see live. I still get chills when I watch or think about that World Series

I remember this game, I'm a Yankees fan but I think this was my favorite W.S. game. What resolve and determination they definitely earned the right to be called World Champs.

Texas was one strike away from victory, twice. One of the most painful moments in pro sports history along with the epic choke/comeback in SB51. And I’m not a Texas Rangers or Atlanta Falcons fan either.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Great piece of work here. Reminds me why I'm a Cardinals fan

I don't know how I can experience the same emotions every time I see one of those critical moments but they always hit me exactly the same. The freese triple, the hamilton dinger, the berkman bloop, we will see you tomorrow night. They never change. They never will. Thanks for the memories boys.

I can only imagine how many liquor stores were raided in Texas after this series.

F in the chat for us Rangers fans. :(

As a Cardinals fan, I remember watching this game while working on a high school science project I had due the next morning. When Josh Hamilton hit that go-ahead HR in the 10th I almost turned off the tv because I thought there was absolutely no way they could pull off another 2 run comeback late in the game. Boy was I glad that I stuck with it because I got to witness the greatest ending to a baseball game I've ever seen.

As an Astros fan I felt very conflicted seeing Berkman win a WS with the Cardinals. But also, as an Astros fan, it was a delight to see Berkman stab the Rangers in the heart

i remember listening to the call on the radio, and i still get goosebumps from this game. one of the best series i've experienced.

The Texas Fox affiliate also sent out texts that the Rangers won the World Series when Freeze was still up to bat in the 9th! I am so glad I stayed up to watch this whole game!

This was the last Cardinals world series my father and I watched together before he passed away. The whole season was magic, I told him early in the season when it looked like a disaster that we're going to make this year. Didn't believe me but boy was he happy. There was only a few times I ever saw that grumpy old man happier and I'm damn glad Freese hit that home run.

“In to right well hit back at the wall it’s off the wall one run scores here comes Berkman Freeze has tied it 7-7 unbelievable.”

WE NEED A WHOLE REWINDER FOR GAME 162 IN THE 2011 MLB SEASON!

Beef history- Isaiah Thomas vs Jordan & Magic Johnson Kobe vs Raja Bell Tonya Harding vs Nancy Kerrigan What y’all think?

Berkman had crucial at bats to setup both Freese moments. Great series! Go Cards!!

Bring back the old music from season 1! YOU GUYS BROUGHT IT BACK!!! The music at 14:44 is why I follow this channel. You should release that music.

4:32 "Lowe being in such a HIGH leverage situation..." i see whatchya did there

This is the Blues 2011 season, Let's go Blues!!!!

Thank you for helping me relive one of the greatest ball games I ever had the pleasure to watch.

so awesome that this is in my recommended now that he’s retiring. what a great career, dave

Freese is still super clutch. I'm a Sox fan but when the postseason started last year he was huge for the Dodgers.

As a rangers fan I just cant watch this the pain is just too great still 8 years later. Don't think I'll ever be able to watch this game.

Props to whoever made this. This was REALLY well made- ya did great painting the fantastical season of the 2011 Cards

being a lifelong diehard cardinals fan this game and this series will always forever be in my heart my father passed away 4 years after this and nothing will beat the feeling i got with my father in my underwear jumping and screaming after this this city and this team will always run through my blood and my veins

Rangers fan here... I’m not gonna watch the video this is already ingrained in my nightmares

I feel like we need a rewinder episode on the last day of the 2011 regular season alone

This gives me chills, I remember watching this as an 11 year old kid and running around the house celebrating

I was waiting for this video. Finally!!! One of the greatest series in sports.

Here we are. As a Rangers fan, I dreaded that this day would come

Caroenter's CG shutout on the last day was clutch...Braves meltdown was not...funny how the stars aligned. Great video!

Dude you were ON this! Thanks! Made me cry again with happiness.

What a great recap of an amazing moment!

Finally you made it!!!

I already knew most of what you showed us, but that didn't stop me from getting goosebumps. This is one of those top-shelf sports' story.

May the ghosts of 2011 be forever erased

Thank you for making this video SB Nation. I have been requesting this video for a while, & yall finally made it. As a die hard Texas Ranger fan (born & raised in Arlington, Tx) im happy to see this video get made. Even tho it hurts. Thanks again
