Sports: USA Baseball: St Louis' Cardinals win World Series 4-2 over Detroit Tigers
.
The Cardinals did win, but the Tigers felt like winners too. Detroit's Tigers and their fans were celebrating from Day 1 of the recent Baseball World Series competition against the St Louis Cardinals. Of course, by now we know who came out on top, but for the Tigers and their fans, just the fact that after 12 consecutive years Detroit was back in the great American game, made the gain of second place compared to all the other contenders in the two leagues, well, that was euphoria producing enuff to last them all ... till next year.

The credit seems universally to be given to Jim Leyland, Detroit's manager.
The Tigers manager is rated a genius for taking the team to Major League Baseball's championship after 12 consecutive losing seasons.As to the Cardinals, "David Eckstein drove in the go-ahead run and Jeff Weaver tossed eight brilliant innings as the Cardinals beat the Tigers, 4-2, in Game 5 to clinch the World Series. Eckstein was named the Series' Most Valuable Player." You can catch them in a victory-mashup photo and read the whole winner's-point-of-view story on MLB.com.
"It's a great boost for people's psyches for the World Series to be in Detroit this year," says Detroiter Jeff Case, who returned to work as a truck driver in July after a four-month layoff. "It makes you forget the hard times."
