Okay, so I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while now, and today’s the day. I’m diving deep into my little project centered around David Freese. Yeah, the baseball guy. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “What’s there to dig into?” But trust me, this got pretty interesting.
It all started when I got this idea in my head. I watched a documentary about the 2011 World Series. And Freese’s performance in Game 6, man, it just stuck with me. I’m from Missouri, grew up near St. Louis, so, naturally, the Cardinals were a big deal. I started to look into him, you know, just casually at first.
I started by gathering all the basic information I could find about him. Just wanted to get the facts straight, like when he was born, which was April 28, 1983, by the way. Then I found out he played for 4 teams, including the Cardinals and Dodgers, had a .277 batting average, 1,041 hits, 113 home runs, you know, the usual stats.
Then, I started reading about his career with the Cardinals. I wanted to understand what made him so special to the fans there. I watched clips of his games, especially during the 2011 postseason. I was particularly interested in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) and the World Series. It blew my mind when I read that he batted .545 with 12 hits in the NLCS. Man, he was on fire!
I spent hours reading articles, watching interviews, and even dug up some old forum posts from back in 2011. People were going crazy about him, calling him a legend and all that. It was fascinating to see how much he meant to the city of St. Louis, especially after that Game 6 performance in the World Series. A hometown hero, that’s what he was. A legend was born in St. Louis for his heroics in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series against the Texas Rangers.
So, I started compiling all this information. I made notes, organized everything into folders, and even created a timeline of his career highlights. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with all this, but I just kept going. I was like a detective, piecing together the story of David Freese.
My main focus was on that 2011 season. I wanted to understand what led to that incredible performance in Game 6. I read about his struggles, his injuries, and how he almost quit baseball at one point. It made his comeback even more amazing.

I ended up writing a detailed account of his career, focusing on the impact he had on the Cardinals and the city of St. Louis. I wanted to show people why he became such a beloved figure there. For his efforts, I feel so fulfilled.
And that’s basically it. It was a fun little project, and I learned a lot along the way. It’s amazing how one moment in sports can have such a lasting impact on people. David Freese’s story is definitely one for the books.
