WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama on Tuesday dubbed the St. Louis Cardinals the "greatest comeback team in the history of baseball" thanks to their thrilling late season charge into the playoffs and death defying, seven game triumph in Dt5FW6a9x last November's World Series.
The Cardinals were 1012 games back at the end of August, but rallied to win a National League wild card spot on the last day of the regular season. They trailed in cheap nfl pro bowl jerseys each playoff round and were twice within a strike of elimination in Game six cheap super bowl jerseys of the series with the Texas Rangers before David Freese's walk off home run in the 11th saved them.
Mrs. Obama was present at the series opener, and she thanked the Cardinals for all they do for military families. Then team owner Bill de Witt gave both Obamas team jerseys and souvenir bats.
"I'm a little bit worried about giving my wife a bat," the president joked. "If I mess up ."
His wife deadpanned, "I'll take my bat," then hefted and glancing meaningfully in Obama's direction, as Cardinals players, team officials and Missouri lawmakers chuckled.
Two key figures of the championship season were absent. Manager Tony La Russa retired after the series. And Albert Pujols signed a $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason.
He noted in late August, Las Vegas oddsmakers had the Cards 500 to 1 underdogs.
"But through skills, guts and I think the team would agree just a little bit of luck just a touch this team made the playoffs," Obama said. "And even though they trailed in each of the series that followed, they somehow had the spirit and the determination and the resolve to survive." http://www.agrararu.hu/joomla/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Ite mid=86&func=view&catid=2&id=59296#59296 http://www.drugtestcentral.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=30846&am p;#post30846 http://kengerli.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73389&PID=76539#76539
