The Series was noted for its back-and-forth Game 6, in which the Cardinals erased a
two-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning, then did it again in the 10th. In both
innings, the Rangers were one strike away from their first World Series championship.
The Cardinals won the game in the 11th inning on a walk-off home run by David
Freese. The Series was also known for the blowout Game 3, in which Cardinals player
Albert Pujols hit three home runs, a World Series feat previously accomplished only by
Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth, and subsequently only by Pablo Sandoval (in 2012).

would be played in November. The Cardinals enjoyed home-field advantage for the
series because the National League won the 2011 All-Star Game 5–1 on July 12. The
2011 World Series was the first World Series to go all seven games since 2002.
