The St. Louis Cardinals are champions, today and forever.
“Nobody can take this away from us, not ever,” said an excited Kolten Wong after his club had defeated the Texas Rangers. “We worked hard and we accomplished our goal.”
The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field as the game concluded.
Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.
“From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes,” said the St. Louis manager. “The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that – they’re champions of the world.”
The Cardinals took the series 4-2, with the final win being a 2-1 triumph.
The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National League Central Division and a 117-45 record. As they head into the offseason, some people are already wondering if they can repeat.
