2011 World Series Game 6 - 10th Anniversary Retrospective



So yesterday was October 27, 2021. It's the 36th anniversary of the day the Kansas City Royals clinched the 1985 World Series with a win in Game 7, and the 17th anniversary of the day the Boston Red Sox clinched the 2004 World Series to end 86 year of heartache.

It's also the 10th anniversary of the infamous Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. The Texas Rangers were one win away from capturing the 2011 World Series. Of course they blew it in historic fashion to enhance their legacy of failure.

And of course, because I was so masochistic I decided to watch the entire game for the first time ever, since ten years earlier I only tuned in for the seventh inning onward. And I decided to Tweet the entire debacle. Here's a collection of my tweets.
