15 years ago, Game 6. This is how it sounded on KMOX. Enjoy. #stlcards

OTD 15 years ago, David Freese was the definition of CLUTCH 😤 Down to their last strike in Game 6 of the World Series, he delivered a game-tying 2-run triple and followed that up with an 11th-inning walk-off home run to send the series to a Game 7. The @Cardinals would go on to become World Series champions!

"The finest stretch of pitching in baseball history began on June 6, 1968 when Bob Gibson shut out Houston on three hits to even his record at 5-5. From that night until August, Bob Gibson allowed three runs in 102 innings. THREE runs! In TWO months! And one of the runs scored on a wild pitch. "They called it a wild pitch," Bob Gibson corrects believing it should have been a passed ball and an unearned run. From the end of May to Aug. 23, Bob Gibson won 15 consecutive games and threw 10 shutouts. At one point he was 15-5 with a 0.94 ERA. When he shut out Philadelphia for 10 innings Sept. 2 to win his 20th game, he lowered his ERA to 0.99. Bob Gibson started 34 games and completed 28 of them. No team ever drove him off the mound. The only time he left a game was for a pinch hitter. Had Bob Gibson been given just a bit better support, he might have come close to 30 victories. As it was, the Cardinals scored only 12 runs in his nine losses and just four in his first five. He also was the victim of Gaylord Perry’s no-hitter." Jim Caple, "St. Paul Pioneer Press."

#OTD 2003 - 👇🧨 "Swiiiiiiiing and hello 4th of July! Take a ride on that knockdown pitch big boy! Kerry Wood knocked him down, and NOW Albert looks at him as he goes around first, heeee gives him a glare, say take a little whiff of that big boy! And now Kerry Wood takes a look at Albert as he touches them all. Give it to him big boy! Give it to him! THAT'S how you play baseball. THAT'S when you're a professional like Albert is. You don't glare out there! You don't throw your bat! You don't charge the mound! You just take the next pitch and you hit into the a, seats!” - Mike Shannon #STLCards

Keldon Johnson escreveu uma longa carta para os fãs do Spurs no @PlayersTribune , aqui vai um breve resumo: Alguns anos atrás, tive uma conversa difícil com o Pop. Antes de um jogo contra Dallas, ele disse que seria melhor eu sair do banco. Eu aceitei na hora, mas por dentro não lidei bem. Eu tinha média de 22 pontos, medalha de ouro… não entendia. Deixei o barulho externo me afetar e não fui minha melhor versão naquela fase. Com o tempo, comecei a refletir. Voltei até o draft de 2019, quando caí até a 29ª escolha sem nem treinar com San Antonio. Ali, a franquia apostou em mim, e veteranos como Dejounte Murray, DeMar DeRozan, LaMarcus Aldridge e Patty Mills me ensinaram como ser profissional. Eles viam algo em mim antes mesmo de eu enxergar. Em 2024, olhando pro nosso momento, percebi o quadro maior. O time tinha futuro, sinais claros de crescimento… mas havia um problema: eu. Tive que encarar isso de frente. Deixar o ego de lado não é fácil, mas era necessário. Escolhi confiar no processo. Abracei meu papel, fiz o que o time precisava e voltei a ser eu mesmo. Hoje, me sinto em casa em San Antonio. Venho de uma cidade minúscula, com valores simples de família, e isso molda quem eu sou. Nosso time cresceu assim também. Sem atalhos, aprendendo com os erros e criando uma identidade própria. Um grupo unido, intenso, onde todo mundo pode ser quem é, e isso faz tudo funcionar. Estar aqui tem sido uma jornada, uma da qual eu tenho muito orgulho. Quando você tira o ego da equação e realmente compra algo maior que você, você pode fazer parte de algo especial. E quando um time inteiro faz isso, você nem sabe até onde pode chegar. No fim, o mais importante pra mim é que a organização nunca deixou de acreditar em mim. Isso me deu confiança pra continuar. Porque evolução é uma jornada própria. Leva tempo. E eu só continuei, continuei, continuei. Você vai cair, vai passar por momentos difíceis… mas precisa ter coragem pra levantar. A gente tá no ringue agora. E a gente tá pronto.
