World Series Recap – MLB Tickets To A Surprising World Series
Wow – who knew that MLB tickets to the 2006 World Series would be entrance to such a surprise result? The Cardinals beat the Tigers, and the Fall Classic only lasted five games. No one predicted that result, and most still cant believe that the underdog Cardinals could dispatch the mighty, heavily-favored Tigers so quickly.
Well, guess what? Thats exactly what the Cardinals did, and they are the deserved champions this season. This was a team that was openly ridiculed on sports radio and in columns around the country, being called such things as a AAAA team and the like. So how did they do it? Lets look at a few reasons below.
Pitching
If youre going to win the World Series, you need to have strong pitching all the way through your staff. Starters throw on short rest and the games are managed more closely, which means that more pitchers play on any given night. The Cardinals got strong starts from Chris Carpenter and even the one losing pitcher in the series, Jeff Weaver. The Tigers hit .199 in the series, and closer Adam Wainwright was unhittable.
