The famous Cincinnati Reds-Boston Red Sox 1975 World Series that featured Carlton Fisk’s game-winning home run in the sixth game and the Reds triumph in Game 7. The 1986 Mets also had something of a miracle when they beat the Red Sox in seven games. The 1991 World Series between the Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves came down to an epic pitching duel between Jack Morris of the Twins and John Smoltz of the Braves. The Twins need extra innings to record a 1-0 triumph. The Cardinals triumph over the Rangers is the fourth, and Schumaker recently relived that series in an interview on MLB insider Buster Olney’s podcast. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/complete-list-world-series-mvps-who-has-won-award-history-year-by-year-results" rel="nofollow"> The Cardinals </a> were down to their last out in the sixth game, much like the Mets were in ’86. But David Freese lined a ball off the right field wall with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and tied the game. St. Louis would also rally from another two-run deficit in the 10th inning to tie the game once again. St. Louis would win the game on a home run to center field by Freese. The Cardinals would finish the job by winning&nbsp; Game 7 to earn the World Series triumph. <h2> Schumaker has intense memories of Game 6 </h2><figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3080058"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=23kfJv_0wBIuvrP00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=23kfJv_0wBIuvrP00" width="1200" height="675" ><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="caption-attachment-3080058">Mark Hoffman / USA TODAY NETWORK </figcaption></figure> The former Cardinals outfielder and second baseman — along with Marlins manager — relived the triumph with great joy. “I still can’t believe we won the World Series, let alone the Game 6,” <a href="https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/1847006445000171809" rel="nofollow"> Schumaker said </a> . “They (the Rangers) had Neftali Feliz on the mound and the game was gone. Tony (LaRussa) pulled me and a couple of other veteran players aside and told us to stay around after the game so we could salute the fans. To come back in that situation was on our radar, but not like it usually is. “Freese hit the ball and you see (Rangers right fielder) Nellie Cruz drift back. He jumps and it seemed that it was too soon. Everybody was holding their breath to see if he caught it and it went off the wall. Albert (Pujols) was waving everybody to come on, and it was a moment I will never forget.” The post <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-skip-schumaker-bombshell-admission-legendary-game-6-cardinals-win-2011-world-series" rel="nofollow"> Skip Schumaker’s bombshell admission on legendary Game 6 Cardinals win in 2011 World Series </a> appeared first on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com" rel="nofollow"> ClutchPoints </a> . </div></body>
