Busy Day For Rangers-Astros Includes A Drop And A Fire Truck

((HT: MLB.com))

It was a day that needed celebrating when the Rangers took on the Astros...

The Rangers made a point to honor the town of West, about 90 minutes south, as the town was obliterated when a grain plant exploded this spring. Lance Berkman even went as far as donating a fire truck that was purchased from the Arlington Fire Department. His name and number were placed on the side of the truck, but Berkman wanted no such recognition.

He just wanted to make sure the truck works for a town that really needs the help...
Here's the link to the ceremony...

And the story from WFAA-TV
And, during the game, one of the lighter moments when someone dropped a sure home run souvenir, and someone else wasn't too pleased...

How Can Game 7 Top That!!!!

How many are you are dragging to work because you couldn't break away from Game 6 of the 2011 World Series.

The St. Louis Cardinals were down by two runs twice, down to their last strike twice and cameback to tie and extend the game.

Then in the bottom of the 11th St. Louis native David Freese launched a shot to center field winning it for the Cardinals and if the Redbirds win etching his moment into Cardinal lore.

Here's the game winning home run (Thanks Fox Sports.)



Love Joe Buck using his father Jack's famous call when Kirby Puckett hit the walk-off home-run in Game 6 of the World Series 20 years ago.

Here's Tony LaRussa's post game presser. (Thanks KSDK-TV St. Louis)
