Baseball is a sport that inspires its fans, at least its most passionate and ardent ones to follow it year round.
For those fans the 2011 season started on Jan. 1, 2011 and will end at midnight on Dec. 31, 2011. In that one-year span, there are numerous stories. Each franchise has a storyline for the whole year. Some teams had more memorable years than others, but the most passionate fans of every team will leave 2011 with memories.
For some fans 2011 won’t be that memorable. Maybe if you’re an Astros or Twins fan the 2011 season, or the whole year actually may be worth forgetting.
For other fans, 2011 will be unforgettable for the wrong reasons. Braves and Red Sox fans own this title.
For fans of the Tigers, Rangers, Rays, Diamondbacks and of course the St. Louis Cardinals, 2011 was not just unforgettable but also memorable.
Lots of good stories were written in the year 2011, it’s hard to narrow it down to the five biggest, but it’s worth trying.
