Sit Down Joe Dimaggio

Honestly, I have not paid a great deal of attention to the MLB post-season.  The spectral gloom the World Championship trophy spending its "every year of my life"-th year off of the North Coast has been mostly insurmountable.  Still, I do have to give a quick shout to Cardinals third bagger David Freese, who has put together a 12 game October hitting streak.  While this does not sound tremendously impressive, recognize that the single post-season all-time record is 14 in a row.  In fact, only 3 players have ever gone further than 12 consecutive: Mark Lemke (13 in 1996), Marquis Grissom (14 in 1995) and Manny Ramirez (14 in 2004).

As I typed this, Texas mounted their improbable 9th inning rally to take Game 2, which guarantees a 5th game and guarantees Freese the opportunity to break the record.  I love history.

Cheers.
