The fabulous St. Louis Cardinals have won their 11th World Series title by crushing the Texas Rangers, 6-2, in an exciting series that went to all seven games.
After winning Game 6 on a walk-off home run in the 11th inning, the Cardinals made darn sure Game 7 never went that far by taking a commanding lead in the third inning and extending it in the fifth and then the seventh innings.
The Texas Rangers jumped out to a quick 2-0 temporary lead, but those would prove to be the only runs they would score Friday night. Don't mess with The Cards, Texas!

Why do only 13% of Americans surveyed trust their elected public officials?
We suggest you contact your representative and ask them... What have you done for me today? You work for me, what did you do to improve my quality of life?
We recommend that you ask your local, state and national representatives this and many other questions that you may have. Their responses may wind up surprising you. Also, tell them you plan to stop in and see what they are doing during their normal working hours, before you decide to cast your next ballot.
