bro EVERYbody on this team did SOMEthing important to help the vets that deserved this get their first ring...look at rolens face on the thumbnail...dude never showed emotion his entire career.Love it
I was lucky enough to be at this game in person, and while it was really cold & damp, it was also an amazing experience to say the least! I have dreamed for years of seeing the Cardinals win the World Series at home in person..and it happened!! All this from a team that many people said didn't have a chance to win even one playoff game that year. Thank you 2006 St. Louis Cardinals!
I was glad that the trio of Edmonds, Pujols and Rolen got their rings. As for Edmonds getting into the HOF - as much as I would have liked to have seen it - I think he was just a fraction of a notch below that level. A great defensive player and a good hitter with power (393 HRs), I think he was just a handful of homers shy. With 400 homers, I think he gets in.
I was born 10/25/85- Don Denkinger day. My dad never let me forget it. In 06 I jokingly said if the cards make the series we should go as game 5 was my 21st birthday (remember, 83-79...long shot!). Dad said yes and we went with my grandpa (who died before the next world series). Great memories. Only bad thing was that due to rain (10/25) they kept game 5 tickets (10/26) but played it as the 4th game. So we should have been for the celebration. Oh well. Go to a World Series if you can. It's like nothing else in baseball.
The big misconception about 06 was that the Cardinals were just a lucky team that somehow made it into the playoffs. What people forget was this was the same core group that won 105 games in 2004 and 100 games in 2005. They started off 2006 on the same projection, being 34-19 at the end of June. Then injuries happened. The team was getting old and key guys were hurt throughout the year. They may have wheezed into the playoffs, but once they were there, everybody was healthy. To me that was the difference in 06. In the 04 playoffs, Chris Carpenter was unavailable due to injury. The same was true for Scott Rolen in 05. 2006 had the MV3 and and a healthy Carpenter. With that in mind, it shouldn't be a mystery at all that they won. Especially when you consider the playoff experience they had compared to the teams they faced.
This was my childhood. 13 year old me and I had just started watching baseball. This made me a diehard for life. Also, Yadi and Waino winning throwing up their arms as the crowd cheers, never gets old.
I was at games 4 and 5 with my Dad when I was only 7 or so years old. My dad passed away a few years after and these are some of my fondest memories I had with him. Will never forget these nights. Cardinals fan for life.
Being A STL Fan my whole life Down here in Louisiana , This was my Greatest night as a Cards fan. I never got over the 1985 World Series until this Night. Go Cards.
I am a Saint Louisian but the Cards did not belong in this WS. Playoffs are stupid, they make zero mathematical sense. There should be one pennant winner take all like it used to be before 1969. The last six weeks of the regular season would be like having playoffs anyways. The owners could raise the ticket prices if there team was in the race and they would make money than the current postseason format. The best teams always get screwed in the playoffs. Example, 2005 Cardinals. They were leaps and bounds better than Houston (by 11 wins) and lost because Houston was hot. Minnesota in 1987 had no business being in the WS either. They were a joke. They had a losing record on the road, but the best home record. Cardinals were so much better than the Twins that year. Also there should not be anymore interleague play, its absolutely stupid. Baseball sold out all of its traditional ways for money.
Thank you Jeff Weaver for maybe pitching the best game of your life for St. Louis. Adam Wainright could have also been a great closer all his years. I watched the game at home but toward the end of the game drove downtown and stood outside the stadium by their large TV screen with others in a crowd standing there.
I remember a number of sports articles that year completely dismissing the Cardinals and the same writers then having to eat their words after the World Series. Sports can be so much fun in that regard. :)
❤ this game and my St Louis Cardinals been a fan since I was a kid I was at this game with my friend what a moment for St Louis all the playoff disappointments washed away in a sea of red
What's certainly ironic is that the 2004, 2005, 2013 and 2015 teams that didn't win it all were all better than the 2006 and 2011 teams that did win it all. But the 2006 and 2011 teams got hot at the right time. You gotta get in the playoffs first, and after that, it's all about getting hot at the right time.
They certainly had more injuries in the regular season in 2006,and got healthy at the right time,and had one huge weapon they didn't have available in 2004,Chris Carpenter.the core of the team wasn't much different,so,not doing some homework would make one think they weren't nearly as good,look deeper though,pitching and contact hitters were a plus for 2006 post season red birds over the 2004 team
Mike Shannon on then 550 KTRS: "Wainright has the sign he wants. He brings it home....Inge.... *glove pop, crowd literally explodes* SWIIIIIIING AND A MIIIISS! THE CARDINALS ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS FOR TWO THOUSAND AND SIX! THEY *MOB* ADAM WAINRIGHT....."
The last game FOX used that theme song and tracks for when the lineups and defensive starters were announced if I'm not wrong. Wish it was still that way
It's still remarkable in some ways that the 2004 Cardinals win 105 games in the regular season then are swept by the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, while the 2006 Cardinals crawled their way to just 83 wins, fewest ever by a team that would go on to win the championship. And THAT team was the one to finally end St. Louis' long championship drought in the World Series. The Tigers had been such a marvelous story in baseball in 2006, reaching the World Series after years of despair, yet the Cardinals overwhelmed them in 5 games. But it was their past postseason experience despite the disappointments that really made the difference for this Cardinals ballclub in 2006. Not to mention a couple of players added along the way( Eckstein, Jeff Weaver )who made massive contributions to the '06 Cardinals come October.
I really love the Cardinals. The sad thing is all those Red Birds fly away. I mean Pujols, Edmonds, And Rolen. Also seeing Jerd Weaver doing awesome with the Angels. Go CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was ^ when I saw this. I still remember this like it was yesterday. WOW!!!!
out of the 3 cardinal teams in 2004, 2005, 2006 the team with 83 wins wins the ws the 2004 and 2005 teams were amazing. it just goes to show if the cards get into the postseason they will run with it
Jeff Weaver, another one of Duncan’s reclamation projects. He steered Carpenter to greatness after his tommy john. Woody Williams, Jeff Suppan, and Jeff Weaver to name a few of the guys he helped resurrect. Weaver was dominant early in his career, but when it started to slide, it was bad. He got a chance for a fresh start in STL and ended up pitching in a World Series clinching game, and pitching well. I’m sure having Molina behind the plate helps a lot too.
I was in the hospital with my wife because she was giving birth to our third child we both screamed nurses came rushing in and we were like the Cardinals won the World Series! They were a little upset 🤣
According to some people, like a guy called +Eli F.M., the Cards were the luckiest team ever to win a WS. They were lucky to get in with just 83 wins, and it shows the playoffs are a crapshoot. LOL!!! But the Cards showed that the regular season doesn't mean anything in the playoffs. And they showed why they were better than their 83-78 record, as they put it together in the playoffs. The 2006 will be remembered better than the 2004 and 2005 teams that each won 100+ games.
As Ron Washington said, "That's the way baseball go" ... we were so great in 2004 only to get swept in the WS, and then we barely made the playoffs in 2006 and won the Series going away ... crazy!
He walked because Mo wasn't willing to spend more than 125 mil on an aging Pujols, who's best years were clearly behind him. Boras(the dirty slimeball of an Agent) wanted 200mil + for a new contract, ownership said "nah, we'll pass" Come December 12 of 2011, fans were heartbroken and felt betrayed that a beloved star player that said on television "I wouldn't trade this city or team for anything", a mere 2 months after winning his 2nd Ring, literally did the opposite and signed a $257 million, 10 year contract with the Anaheim Angels. Fast forward to 2018, and that contract really seems to be paying off for Anaheim...NOT!
In the long run,not signing Albert was the right thing to do,but in the short,it might have cost us two rings.with his leadership and bat,we probably don't allow the giants to come back from 3 games to 1,and we needed that in 2013 also against the Redsox in a hotly contested series.
@@TheRealCaptainJamesTKirk Well Beltran was there, and regardless of the criticism surrounding him right now, he was still a great leader. Had he not gotten injured in crucial parts of those series, who knows...
Even though they were only 83-78, the Cards won their division in 2006 and therefore deserved to make the playoffs. The D-Backs should not have been allowed into the playoffs last year. The new playoff format is a joke. MLB should get rid of the wild card when it expands to eight divisions of four.
2:09:17-2:09:24, ironically, both the 1982 and 2006 World Series ended with a member of the Buck family calling the final out: Jack Buck: "SWING AND A MISS! AND THAT'S A WINNER! THAT'S A WINNER! A WORLD SERIES WINNER FOR THE CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!" Joe Buck: "For the first time since 1982, St. Louis has a World Series winner!"
That was a scrappy team the Cards had. I was in Chicago when the Cards won Game 5. I was surrounded by Cubs fans, all of whom were cheering for the Tigers. This was a satisfying win for a not very good team. But I loved this team! GO CARDS!
Not a Cards fan. Not a Weaver fan. But it's just so great to say, yea, Jeff Weaver, career 4.77 era threw eight innings giving up two runs in a World Series clincher.
I remember this night it was crazy because we had marked ourselves with markers and we had a blanket and it was one swing hit or miss and miss he did that's when we won I remember that night
Should've been the Mets in '06. I was absolutely crushed by Game 7. I remember after Yadier Molina hit the home run everything just went silent. It was horrible.
How should it have been the Mets? They were flat out beat. When Beltran takes a bases loaded strike 3, you can't say how you should have won it, you were flat out beat!
The "Curse of Keith Hernandez" was finally broken this night! I was kind of fitting that Jeff Suppan won the NLCS MVP award that year while wearing Keith's old number w/ the Cardinals (37).
Jeff Weaver was a pitcher who I never understood why he didn't have a better career. He had some truly filthy stuff, tremendous command, knew how to pitch. As is in evidence in this game.
Bryan Zazaian, I've been a baseball fan since 1964. You? Probably not as long. I'm well aware of what pitchers do in cold weather. I don't need to have it explained to me. The thing is that he tried to pull it off in another game, too. He washed it off because he knew it was caught. Funny how the game where they tried to cheat was the only game they won in the Series.
I had waited for this since I was 8, when the Metrodome won the 87 series. If there ever was an undeserving team to win it, it was certainly them. Maybe STL will get another one this year.
Kenny Rogers should have started this game. He had allowed 0 earned runs in the entire postseason. They needed to get the series back to Detroit. Other than his WS win in 1997 Leyland was 1-8 in the WS. Terrible decision.
Braves were the team of the early 90's then it became the Yankees in the late 90's into the early 2000's it can pretty much be anyone now since 2003 or later I mean look at last season everyone was talking about a Dodgers vs. Braves world series but it turned out to be the Astros vs. Nationals two teams no one said would make the world series 2019
Lee Irby Before the 2019 postseason started, I predicted that the Nationals beat the Brewers and upset the Dodgers. Cardinals to beat Braves, which happened. I was hoping we would beat the Nats in the NLCS. I knew it wasn’t gonna be easy beating the Astros and Yankees but I always believe in my team. I’m glad the Nationals beat the Astros, they deserved it.
@@OneSideofFries The 2019 World Series was the inverse of the 1987 World Series, in that, in 1987, the home team won every one of the 7 games played, while in 2019, the VISITING team won every one of the 7 games played (for the first time in World Series history).
2:09:07 Evan Reaction Of The Cardinals Winning The World Series Series In 2006. Me: If We Win, I'm Gonna Cry, Because This Game Is Done. The Inaugural Season Of The Busch Stadium The Third Has Been Relentless. 2:09:13 Me: Come On, Come On, (Cardinals Are World Series Champions Again) 2:09:16 YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WE WONNNNNNNNN, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WE DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, THANK YOU SO MUCH, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, OH MY GOD THANK YOU, Finally, Finally After Many Many Years, Cardinals Are World Series In 24 Years.
Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina. Such an iconic duo.
They just got a lot more iconic.
They just finished the story

Ya might wanna wash it now, for obvious reasons
guess we know which hand is jerkin the gherkin
this game 5 got me into sports. thank you Cardinals
Happy for Jim Edmonds one of my fav players, he deserves to be in the HOF.
Agreed
he was snubbed

Which WS do you like more, the 2006 or the 2011 one?
I am a Saint Louisian but the Cards did not belong in this WS. Playoffs are stupid, they make zero mathematical sense. There should be one pennant winner take all like it used to be before 1969. The last six weeks of the regular season would be like having playoffs anyways.

Not a Cards fan. Not a Weaver fan. But it's just so great to say, yea, Jeff Weaver, career 4.77 era threw eight innings giving up two runs in a World Series clincher.
I remember this night it was crazy because we had marked ourselves with markers and we had a blanket and it was one swing hit or miss and miss he did that's when we won I remember that night
I hate the tigers so much. This collapse lives on in my head forever as an absolute failure.
Should've been the Mets in '06. I was absolutely crushed by Game 7. I remember after Yadier Molina hit the home run everything just went silent. It was horrible.
Well you're a salty one aren't you
Well that took an odd turn
***** That was a wicked curve ball, rookie or not.
How should it have been the Mets? They were flat out beat. When Beltran takes a bases loaded strike 3, you can't say how you should have won it, you were flat out beat!
Can't win by striking out.
The "Curse of Keith Hernandez" was finally broken this night! I was kind of fitting that Jeff Suppan won the NLCS MVP award that year while wearing Keith's old number w/ the Cardinals (37).
actually myself it was the curse of don dekenger that was broken that night
I was at that game
The night they clinched was my 30th birthday, pretty cool huh!
Let's go cardinals
Jeff Weaver was a pitcher who I never understood why he didn't have a better career. He had some truly filthy stuff, tremendous command, knew how to pitch. As is in evidence in this game.
What song was played on the organ immediately after the final out?
Brandon Inge was a nervous wreck in the last at-bat of the World Series, we was swinging at anything.
It's worth noting that everyone across the entire state of Michigan was expecting Inge to strike out there...Literally EVERYONE.
It was pretty obvious the World Series was over when Inge came up.
Bryan Zazaian, I've been a baseball fan since 1964. You? Probably not as long. I'm well aware of what pitchers do in cold weather. I don't need to have it explained to me. The thing is that he tried to pull it off in another game, too. He washed it off because he knew it was caught. Funny how the game where they tried to cheat was the only game they won in the Series.
2006: Up and coming Tiger team Carded at the door
I have a picture of me in my cards pajamas as a 1 year old being so excited little did I know 5 years later I would do it again
Hardcore gamer I was one too
I had waited for this since I was 8, when the Metrodome won the 87 series. If there ever was an undeserving team to win it, it was certainly them. Maybe STL will get another one this year.
Kenny Rogers should have started this game. He had allowed 0 earned runs in the entire postseason. They needed to get the series back to Detroit. Other than his WS win in 1997 Leyland was 1-8 in the WS. Terrible decision.
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1982, SAINT LOUIS HAS A WORLD SERIES WINNER!!!!!!!!
sean casey rippin the ball to the wall every at bat lol, dude was scary
What’s the song on 2:09:36?
Braves were the team of the early 90's then it became the Yankees in the late 90's into the early 2000's it can pretty much be anyone now since 2003 or later I mean look at last season everyone was talking about a Dodgers vs. Braves world series but it turned out to be the Astros vs. Nationals two teams no one said would make the world series 2019
Lee Irby Before the 2019 postseason started, I predicted that the Nationals beat the Brewers and upset the Dodgers. Cardinals to beat Braves, which happened. I was hoping we would beat the Nats in the NLCS. I knew it wasn’t gonna be easy beating the Astros and Yankees but I always believe in my team. I’m glad the Nationals beat the Astros, they deserved it.
@@OneSideofFries The 2019 World Series was the inverse of the 1987 World Series, in that, in 1987, the home team won every one of the 7 games played, while in 2019, the VISITING team won every one of the 7 games played (for the first time in World Series history).
2:13:27
that's good sportsmanship
Where's the 720p 16:9 broadcast at?
Ronnie Belliard's jersey still bothering me to this day
2:09:07 Evan Reaction Of The Cardinals Winning The World Series Series In 2006.
Me: If We Win, I'm Gonna Cry, Because This Game Is Done. The Inaugural Season Of The Busch Stadium The Third Has Been Relentless.
2:09:13 Me: Come On, Come On, (Cardinals Are World Series Champions Again)
2:09:16 YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WE WONNNNNNNNN, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WE DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, THANK YOU SO MUCH, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, OH MY GOD THANK YOU, Finally, Finally After Many Many Years, Cardinals Are World Series In 24 Years.
Im not a Joe Buck fan at commentating but that is just me
nope
Me either. He is so BORING!
Joe Buck the boring old fuck
which is ironic considering his dad was a legendary broadcaster for the Cardinals
I don't get the hate,very similar to his dad actually,loved Jack,and I believe Joe does a great job,better at baseball than football my opinion
2 hrs 19 minutes. ..my fave number since... whenever I check into hotel rooms I ask for room 219 LOL
