most people keep saying "one of the greatest" but what other game measure up to game 6?
during the live broadcasting I heard that there were 2 other times in baseball history when a team came back from within one strike of losing the World Series. Tom Verducci's column in SI.com says only the 86 Mets had done it. anyway, the Cards did it TWO TIMES, in consecutive innings, and then became just the fourth team in history to win on a walkoff homerun when facing elimination in the WS.
along with maybe the greatest individual performance in WS history, the first game 7 after the longest drought ever and at least other 2 highly exciting games (2 and 5), where does 2011 rank among the greatest World Series ever?
