MLB Official 2006 World Series Film

Plot Summary

It is, quite simply, the beauty of baseball. St. Louis beat San Diego in the NLDS and shocked the mighty Mets in the NLCS. In the World Series, they faced the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers team that had a week's worth of rest. But the St. Louis starters and rookie closer Adam Wainright held the Tigers to just eleven runs through five games. Yadier Molina, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds came up huge at the plate. And the consummate gamer - 5'7" shortstop David Eckstein hit .364 and became the first National League shortstop to be named World Series MVP. When the smoke cleared, the Cardinals emerged from the pack of behemoths with the team's 10th World Series victory - the second most of all time. Tony La Russa became just the second manager in MLB history to win a World Series title in both leagues. It was all inexplicable, delightfully improbable and deliciously poetic. It's the beauty of baseball, and it's why they play the game.
