David Freese put himself in the history books and in the hearts of St. Louis Cardinals fans after his dramatic walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series which set up a seventh game and an eventual title for the Cardinals. Now some people are clamoring for his inclusion in the Cardinals Hall of Fame.
This is a ludicrous idea.
The story just sounds too perfect: Freese grew up in the St. Louis area and led the team he rooted for growing up to a world championship. The next step would clearly be an induction into the Cardinals Hall of Fame — an oh-so-satisfying capper for a hometown hero.
