Cardinals finish historic comeback with Series title.

The St. Louis Cardinals were crowned World Series champions for the 11th time in franchise history after routing the Texas Rangers 6-2 in game seven.

Sports fanatic Allen Craig blasted a home run and ace Chris Carpenter scattered six hits over six innings for the Cardinals, who performed at their best on baseball's biggest stage when their backs were against the wall.

"This is what you dream about, winning World Series, and it is always in a game seven," said Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. "It is hard to believe it came true."

The Cardinals won Major League Baseball's best-of-seven championship final four games to three to take their second World Series in six years after trailing the series 3-2 heading back to St. Louis for game six.
